Verry nice story. those old cars have realy strong soul. First time i seen mazda rx4 in old magazine, never seen it before. fell in love from the first look. start searching for it and after year - found. Already 4 years owning my mazda. collected almost all parts, Australia is much lighter now
last week painted. now assembling....

Clive - don\'t you want to fit some oldschool wheels?

Hi Clive
How about this for an apparent absolute bargain: http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-1974-MAZDA-RX4-WAGON-W0QQAdIdZ50314959

- just as we discussed at Brooklands.

Were it not for the automatic transmission I’d be over there to buy it and stick it in my brother’s garage! I could â€" just about â€" live with those 74-onward bumpers.

Very nicely done Clive, will look forward to seeing it at RS5 :D

Here you go here\'s a couple of bum shots plus the front end is now finished with new trims  and I changed the headlamps and bezels for new ones I forgot I had!,

I have been collecting some new trim parts for some three years now, i.e. badges lights bumpers etc to try and get this car as close to looking as new as I can however new parts for these are like rocking horses that poo!

Interestingly I went on Aus Rotary a while back and they reckon they have just about no MK1 RX-4\'s left over there which surprised me as I thought that whilst we only got 400 MK1\'s and MK2\'s I thought OZ got millions,

I have even heard that most of our RX-4\'s were actually from Australia rather than Japan and fed in through the back door by the private "Mazda Motors" company that used to sell on behalf of Mazda before they took back ownership to sell their own products themselves.

Tomorrow we will see if the new carpet from OZ fits then I can get the interior fitted back together.
