Bought this badboy from Ed, but unfortunately it wouldnt start so she started off life on the back of a recovery vehicle :(
(apologies for the pics, my phonecam is complete dog toffee.)

When i got her to my house i had major issues with getting it started, even the normal deflood procedure wasnt doing the trick. Looks like we may have to change the ignition leads.
Next on the agenda was to purchase the rest of the A-Spec parts to complete the look of the car. I was looking for a cheap replica rear spoiler when i came across a genuine Mazdaspeed A-Spec spoiler, will get pics up soon. Next to find is the skirts!
We gave up trying to start it and instead towed it to the workshop to get the engine out. This proved to be quite a challenge but we got there in the end.

We had lots of pics of Gandy moaning about one thing or another, but this was probably his finest! :mad:
