This will basically be like the intro page I guess...
I work at a Mazda dealer in central FL, and me and the parts manager decided to go halfsies on a friend of mine's 93 NA. 500 bucks was a deal for a running and driving car that already has (Raceland)coilovers on it. It had a bunch of front end damage, hidden by the front bumper, and a lot of the front wiring is just laying around.

We ended up getting most of the front end metal pieces brand new and bending some stuff back to fit properly to the new parts. Even ended up getting a brand new passenger fender, not cheap...
The terrible faded hood was slightly bent so we picked up a used black one to swap, not pictured yet. We threw brand new brakes on all 4 corners, calipers, rotors, pads, parking cables, and hardware. The interior also needs some work, the dash looks like the grand canyon, steering wheel is peeling apart, and the radio is just not in there at all, lol. We also changed out all the shifter bushings, got the parking brake covers, new shift boots, and black OEM knob. Luckily, my good friend Corey(Corifto) has that sweet BRG roller shell to get some parts off of.

Picked up a set fo TRM wheels for really cheap, 5 for $100. Ended up finding 2 of the 5 bent beyond repair, so we need to pick up one or two for when its ready to hit the road. I already had a set of used 205/50/15 Kumho XS' sitting in my shed, so we didn't need to look into buying new tires.
Our next big project for the car is swapping out an axle first, then pulling the 1.6L and cleaning it up, changing all the gaskets, probably flushing the trans and diff, too.

I'll try my hardest to update as we progress on the car. Hope this wasn't too nooby of a post lol. Any questions about the car please feel free to ask! Also, a huge thanks to Corifto for helping out with the progression of the car, letting us buy the dash and front bumper off the shell from him. It's saving us a ton of trouble. Thanks for reading and looking guys and girls!
