And just like that, ready to be dropped on her feet, bar the front springs which will be going on after the weekend. Steering box and rear axle will be rebuilt at a later date, hence the crude look. It has been a fun and fast project, lasting 4 days. Until next time!

Winter months in Cyprus are ideal for a morning drive. Less traffic in the outskirts of the city, sunny weather and perfect temperature for the windows wound all the way. Happy holidays and best wishes for 2024!

All electrics sorted, and almost ready to accompany a new bride for her maiden voyage to a new life. This has been a major project, completed in just 10 months, including many modifications, alterations and improvements. In short, we had to reassemble and install a completely new interior with a bespoke dashboard and custom gauges, a new modified shifter with an overhauled T5 gearbox, LED lighting inside and out, new and customized wiring harness, coilovers with altered mounting points, complete braking system with 6 and 4 pot calipers and tires, new electronic ignition with vacuum advance, bigger 4-barrel carburator, new heads with bigger valves and intake manifold, stainless steel exhaust headers, and a high profile camshaft, all complemented with the distinctive Mazda hue respray. We believe that all these deserve the moniker. It has been a great experience overall!

Back to the workshop, and already filled with extreme, for heat and sound insulation, although with those headers, the burble will be heard, even with earplugs.
Just to add new front 3-point harnesses, dry fit the front bench seat, and off again for complete custom upholstery.
Sidenote: even if it remained at the paint shop for 2 months, it started right up within 3 seconds of cranking.

Finally painted, and glows. 3-stage paint with another one for clear coat. In the workshop in a few days for insulation, and then off for upholstery during the summer. September will be the month.
