Then came the rotary westfield

Now I have a series 2 non sunroof left hand drive
Over the comming months and possibly years as funds permit, it will be fashioned into a tarmac spec rally car.
As things progress details and progress will be posted up here.
Pics of the car and more details about it will go up tonight

Awesome news

Safely home at last - can\'t wait for the piccies

Ta da
I cant understand why it didnt get purchased before me, possibly that the engine has been removed of its T04B or that the pics were not the best.
I think I have said elsewhere that there is a couple of small rust holes in places and one on the chassis rail over the diff. But lets face it you will be hard pushed to find a minter for a couple of hundred ££ now on any car that is japanese and 30ish years old.

Excellent news Brian... Love the thread about the Red 7 too :-)

[David Nock (RIP)]

Car looks very interesting.

Back Box looks new.....that\'s probably recouped your cash Brian. Not that you\'re selling or anything.

Plus Wheels & Tyres look good.

[kiwimazda]

Back box is new and for sale.
Wheels while be sold in due course.

[David Nock (RIP)]

I\'d like to think I could have my name on the back box, if it will match my Double \'S\' stainless front section.

Presently running standard mild steel Mazda back box on the end of the stainless section. This is slowly going the way of all M/S exhaust boxes. So if it looks like the standard back box (in terms of fitment) we\'re in business.

I\'m in no rush so think of me when it comes off mate.

Will do:Thumbs-up

[CHC (RIP)]

Definitely looks better in your pics Brian - should be a very interesting project.
As you say, to pick up a car for a few hundred with little corrosion is a bonus these days - well done.

Some of the interior has now been removed and Thursday will see the lovely task of removing sound deadining from the car. The nova rally car goes this week so I get all my garage back. It\'s been 2 years since the nova went in tjere for "a couple of weeks"

Your lucky I stored my motorbike in a friends garage 9 years ago and lucky for me it\'s still there ............:yes

[Lacey]

Loving it! Can\'t wait to see this thread evolve with pictures of work

[kiwimazda]

I abandoned doing sound deadining last night and instead had a smashing time with a hammer and the 1/4 windows at the back.
I have also decided to give the car a name.
I think "Marmite" is a good choice

[David Nock (RIP)]

\'Mad Marmite\'?.....\'Mandy Marmite\'? (that name is like Vettell chooses).
