Its a big project, got alot of guts, but you'll see this baby when she's finished :thumb:

Image

Image

Image

Image

interior still in fair condition

Image

Image

Image

Image

The only panalbeating needed on the entire car :D

Image

Image

Image

Image

Ya ya i know it looks like a piece of sh*t, but mark my words :twisted:

This project is gona take a long time to complete tho, a complete DIY job :worship:

What can i say, once the bug bit there's no turning back :eek:

There's nothing wrong with the body, no dents ect, just the right front door. Chassis is 100%, got a whole boot full of spares, plus head and extra carb for the original 1500 engine , the wiring is stil in tack. Basacaly just the front suspension, new front door, right headlight, front bumper and spray job, rear bumper still looks good. The mountings, engine bay wiring, everything is till there :D and wats not upfront is in the boot :lol:

Thanx, will do :thumb:

Yes, but im not in a hurry, lots of fun after lots of hard work, swearing ect, im actually looking forward to it, first up im gona strip the complete car for the spray job, just have to get the hubs/disks ect so its atleast a rolling body, then i can start stripping :wink:

Thanx guys :thumb:

n' Mazda 2.5 v6 is die kar se voorland, but before i do that conversion i want to put the original 1500 in, with a pair of weber sidies, and a re-grinded cam.

We got an extra cam with the body too, so will have that regrinded.

If it dosn't work, ill put back the stock cam and carb, just want to play a little with the 1500 :lol:

If the body is done, resprayed, and suspension, brakes, interior ect sorted ill start with the v6 conversion :thumb: but it deffinatly going to happen :mrgreen:

Hi,

Its very close to the same colour, but it was sprayed light blue, the engine bay is the exact same colour of my car :D

haha, it could've very well been my exa (before) you're right :lol:

The mx6 has a big roll to play in the 2.5 v6 decision, yes ill stay with mazda for a long time :worship:

But the v6 is a bit of a bigger conversion than the FE, by the looks of it, it will fit in there, and if it dosn't, ill make it fit :mrgreen: But the body, spray ect has to be sorted out before i start :roll:

This will be a stricly weekend project, and mabye a few week nights if i get carried away :eek:

Oh and i forgot to add, this one will be silver, will post a pic up later :twisted:

Will keep you updated

Thanx :thumb:

I want the body to be complete, sprayed ect. Ill just spray the engine bay when the conversion is done. we'll be putting the 1500 in for the time being and drive it like that, thats why the body needs to be 100%, only untill all the stuff for the v6 conversion is sorted :D

To be honest, no i never thought of fitting a turbocharged FE, i know that the FE in turbo form will give much more than the KL ever would. But its not about the performance, i already have a FE exa, i want to to this because theres no1 that would ever think of doing it, because it makes NO sense performance wise, because of the sound of the v6, not to talk sh*t about it, in the exa's light body that engine will be something else :shock: i dono if this makes sense to you, but thats why i want to do it. Unfortunatly the FE exa has a brother somewhere :( :lol: i can safely say there's no v6 exa anywhere :mrgreen:

Sound like you had a bad experience with the 2.5 :?

Did a bit of stripping :mrgreen:

Fenders, lights, guards off

Image

Image

Image

A bit more stripping :P

Image

Image

Also took a closer look at the interior

No rear wiper :(

Image

The dash still looks good, no cracks or cutting.

Image

Now his is probebly the nicest part of the car at the moment

The rear ( interior)

Rear seatbelts, my exa don't have these :( :lol:

Look at the upholstery, its still like new :D

Image

Image

Image

The front seats and front door panals will be re-upholstered in the same semi leather/material it is now, the interior will remain 100% standard.

:thumb:

Sounds like it will be a N/A monster.

If your interested.

I still have 2 complete doors(lh+rh) + bonnet + lights(lh+rh) + bumpers(front and back).
And some other 1500 spares I think - must just go and check.

Regards
RR

There's no need to have the front door panals re-upholstered, i just stripped it and gave the upholstery a clean.

Here's the pics, take a quess wich 1 is the before and after :lol: next up will be the rear panals and rear seats :eek:

Image

Image

Image

Yes, this is how dirty they were :shock:

Image

Stripped out the rear end, rear bumper, boot, and most of the interior.

Image

Image

Image
