Had a bit of a look round the car today, seems all suspension mounts have been welded, but need to check the quality of the repairs, lots of surface rust on chassis, all expected.
Needs a new rear valance, spoiler, hatch dampers, drivers door switch naf. maybe motor as well.
External bodywork very good, interior is fine
 
Any know the weight of the FB.

I decided this one was too far gone for restoration so ordered a new one from Mazda - none available in the uk so brought in from europe, within 2 days of ordering it arrived. Great service for around 40 notes.

Not quite sure how bad it is yet till i have a good look, but the corners are bad, so will replace anyway.

Thought i would stretch it legs today on the motorway to see if any faults occur, i did 100 miles, and it performed perfectly, plenty of grunt so engine seems ok, so pleased with its first outing.
