It all started a late evening in spring 2007...
I traded my broken ford mondeo with this old mazda coupe.
Most of its interior was trashed, a broken windshield, engine trouble, broken servo, a busted radiator, flat tires and a "homemmade" electrical wiring system. Some may say that I didn't exactly do a good trade..
So this project didn't start off good, but the engine was up and running again after two months of repairing. Then the car got parked for half a year, while I got together some ideas of what to do and which parts to get.
The snowball had only started to roll...
As I was searching for parts on the net, I stumbled over some pictures of the american version, the 1.gen mx6. I started looking for info on this car, and found the mx6 forum (lot's of great ppl and nice cars there).
Now I really had a lot of reading ahead, to see if there was anything I could transfer into my car project.
So the car got stuck in the garage for another three months.
After three months I repaired the most crucial parts like the engine, brakes, windshield +++ and started buying new parts.
Rims, styling kit, lowering kit, sports exhaust came home pretty quick, but then when I finally got to start on working with the car again, another problem appared.. rust.
Not much but enough to set back this project another step. Now a lot of new parts got stuffed into my "parts and repair" room, and the car is parked again, waiting... well, not waiting alone, "she" got herself a "room mate", an '89 mazda coupe 2.0 16V. Engine transplant, just another project :P
I'm still buying new and old parts, so this project has gotten a bit bigger than I first imagined..
And if anyone knows of anything that could be of interest to me, please send me a message :)
Any news from now on will appear here only with date and part name.
Pics will ofcourse be on the page it belongs to :)
Thanks list on the last page ;)
