I attended the 2008 Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) in Irvine. I saw many Datsuns, Nissans, Toyotas, Hondas and Mazdas. After seeing so many restored vehicles, I made a decision, find a car to restore. I've always wanted a Rotary, and decided to look for a Mazda, either an R100, RX-2 or RX-3. After looking around and making many calls, I found and purchased this vehicle in October 2008. This is my first Mazda and restoration project. So let the "FUN" begin...
