Hi everyone.
I served my time on Mazda`s many years ago and in approx. 1990 treated myself to a 1981 model FB. This eventually had to go due to various reasons, but, I swore I`d have another one day and last year, approx 25years later, I bought a 1983 FB as a restoration project, with no time scale attached to it. Then about 3 weeks ago I bought a 1984 FB (yes I know I must be mad) again as a restoration job. Both cars need major work, most of which I`m capable of doing myself, (its all coming back to me) but this in turn will require sourcing quite a lot of parts, many of which I`m already struggling to find, so I`m hoping to pick everyones brains as to where to find stuff, wether it be new or second hand. As a side note I can`t believe how expensive the things I have managed to find are these days, but, I suppose that's a sign of the times, oh the joys ha ha.
Anyway, once again, hi everyone

Hi Dave and  to Mazdarotaryclub and thank you for supporting the club by becoming a full club member straightway 

Yes prices are probably a lot more than years ago but then the prices of these cars that are becoming rarer and rarer are also increasing now 

Good luck with your project

Hi Boosted, boy are you going to have fun when you get your project on the road. I certainly can`t wait to get one of mine finished, but at the same time I`m not gonna rush it because I want it right. Thanks for the tips on who may be able to help me out with parts, no doubt I`ll be in touch with them in due course  .

Clive, hi there. It only seemed right to become a full member considering the help and advice I`ll be asking for in the future ha haa.
