looking real good man! nice parts collection you have there too lol royal purple all the way same stuff i'm using.
I was a die hard Castrol GTX man, but a local circle track dood that shops at my store said during the heat of battle the Royal Purple ran 30 degrees cooler oil temp, then the Castrol GTX!! Guy documents everything and regularly tells me when stuff does not live up to its claims. Customers have documented going a tenth of a second faster in the quarter mile if you switch every fluid in the car to Royal Purple too. (Some people would whore their mom for a tenth) In this case I believe the product does live up to the hype.
Thanks for the encouragement on the project

I'm confused though... in your first post, you posted a pic of your donor MX3's interior.
It's a 94, but you have the facelift dash in it? Jealous. My 94 MX3 donor had the early dash in it, and my girlfriend wants me to stuff the facelift version in her Escort.

Love the attention to detail!!!!
I contemplated putting the MX-3 dash in my 323. I decided it looked to F-16 fighter jet for the dorky 323 LOL. I am a knuckle dragging Muscle car guy, so I did not know much about MX-3's when I started the project. I leaned that my 1994 MX-3 GS parts car was a fairly rare car. Canadian only wrap around rear spoiler, rare 5 spoke wheels and ultra rare non-air bag 1994 with the face-lifted dash. I had the dash in a pile of junk and it got wrecked. That car was a gold mine though. I bought it for $500, drove it home, sold $650 worth of parts off of it (nothing mechanical was sold!!) and I still had everything I needed for the 323 V6 swap. I even kept the wheels (they are on my daily driver 323). I could have got way more money out of that car too, I had no idea the hatch spoiler was rare, and the floormats were worth $75.00 ect LOL (I chucked the perfect condition mats out). The cracked front lip aparently had value too. Oh well live and learn I guess.

I've had two 94s now and they both have the same dash...
My 94 doesn't have the dash pictured... there were two dashes used in MX3s. The earlier version didn't have the vent "pods", and was smoother, more "dated" looking.
This is what my 94 has. Wonder if it was swapped over?
[EDIT]
NVM. Just checked the title for the first time since i bought it. I have a 92. Weird, was advertised as a 94.

I was going to put the MX-3 dash in the Mustang and fill all the cool round vents with 2 1/6" gauges LOL. (the Mustang currently has a dash-board) LOL. I just made something up quick to stuff gauges in. Unfortunately the MX-3 dash was a victim of too much sheot in my garage.
