      Thanks a lot, the only major problems were the leaking fuel tank and a leaking oil pressure sender. I just came back from getting a plastic Escort GT tank and pump, getting it instaled wensday and after I'll put here back on the road !! Can't wait.

      the paint is a bit faded by the sun but its still pretty nice, after all its the original paint ! on a 13yrs old car ! And I'm also pretty eager to change those stock 13's for 15" mx-3 wheels !!

              Very clean...try waxing it if it's faded...my 323's red paint was faded after sitting on the driveway all it's life...waxed it once and it went from light pinkish red to deep red.

              Like the steering wheel...what is that Mazda emblem on the radio surround?

                We just had some 15" MX3 wheels at my u-pull-it a few weeks ago, too bad they're gone now They only charge something like 15 or 20 bucks per wheel/tire.

                    Dude I have really no clue, I don't even know how the radio olds in there, but I know its toward the outside like 3/4" too much, sounds like it was half-assed fitted !!!


                    And for the steering, It was stock ??? is it special or something ? lol


                    Here is a pic of MX-3 grey seats I will be getting for about $40 US bucks soon !!!

                        I know everyone thinks 92-93 seats are "the ****" but I don't like them in a Protegé, I think they don't fit the lines of the car. And I feel very sqeezed in them in my GF's MX-3. I would use them if my car was a project/race car only, but it will be my daily driver for the next 1+ year.

                        altrought thanks for the comment, I like having input and suggestions
