    Free fuel pressure regulator FTW! Hurray for destroy on-site warranty! It was part of a fuel line kit for a 5.0L Mustang. The lines kept leaking. This regulator never even saw fuel!



    Picked up some new Japanese metal from the Mazda dealer. 22mm MX-3 front stabilizer bar. The ends were rusted off of mine.
    (My 323 has a complete MX-3 V6 suspension)


    Thanks Kris. The novelty of my new daily driver has not worn off yet LOL

          Previously bought new MX-3 stabilizer end links and poly sway bar mount bushings, so I am financially committed to MX-3 sway-bar-ness. A larger front sway bar would also create more understeer. If you were going to put a larger bar on the front, a even larger rear one would be necessary.

                It is just a stock autotragic 323, You should come up in the spring when the MX-326GS is finished and take some snaps of it

                  None of my cars are for sale. (I have a 323 hording disorder).

                          My Dad is O.K, he has no drivers license, (heart attack related health reasons) ......But he just bought a new truck. Maybe it will be me meeting him and a police officer on the side of the road (with a flat bed tow truck) instead of the other way around for once LMAO

                                Worked on the car this weekend.

                                Fixed the door


                                I Just fiber-glassed it. The door has some beefy metal in the window frame, this piece is really cosmetic, made out of really thin metal.


                                Spent forever on the body filler stage, looks good enough


                                I finished the back of it too, cause I figure it would bug me to see the repair as I got out of the car. Just fiberglass in the picture, I smoothed it out with body filler on the inside too.


                                I painted the jams and the backs of the doors and hatch.




























                                Cleaned up and painted the door hinges too








                                Thinkin' the next step will be to put the engine in it. Then bolt it all back together and paint it. Then paint the rest of the interior parts......but that's another story LOL
