Finally started it up again today. It pretty much all back together now except for belt moldings all the clips broke when I took them off. Heres all the pics I took while we were painting.












Only real problems is theres a ton of orange peel and dirt. Im hoping alot of it will sand out. Also forgot to paint the mirrors and gas door so I just primered them until we get a chance to spray them.

Where on earth did find a powered options door for a sedan? Wow thats a good steel!

Leave the fuel door without paint. Instead, Polish it up! Look like you are race car!!!

I know, Ile shut up. Lookin very good man. Cant wait to repaint my car as well. Clear coat is gone and its in dire need to match its performance!!

Joe, where is it you work? Just curious. Im a Mazda Technician myself.

Found it on car-part.com in some philly ghetto junkyard. I just primered the fuel door and threw it on for now. Im a tech at a used car dealer. Hate it there but its the best I can do in my area.


Drove it into town to get gas tonight and on the way home I blew it up racing a mazda 3. Seems to have no compression on 3 cyl wont know for shure till I bring my compression tester home tomorrow.

Finally got it running again had to swap the motor out of my hatch into it.

My awesome primered mirrors.


Put the s-10 lip and jdm grill on


New to me wheels. Really needs to be lowered.


The old motor burned the exhaust valves on cyl 3 and 4. Also looks like it took out the top ring on number 1.
