got a tad bored today so decided a bucket of soapy water may get the filth off the rex as it stands.
the interior needs a good clean as its dusty as hell, engine bay needs doing aswell.
rims are going off to get shot blasted within the next week and painted. Will update with more pics then :D

(please note i am no expert photographer and used my phone for these pics)











The 26 year old paint doesnt come up too bad i\'d say. Still needs some scratch X using on it.

Let me know what you guys thinks :)

Thanks

they look good from a mobile!
Car\'s looking great now Ross.... are they Lucas Square eights on the front of the car? Haven\'t seen any of those for years. They used to be everywhere.

Thanks Ian.

They are indeed Lucas fogs. Came on the car. Are they an option? Or have they been put on at a later date?

Car\'s looking very good Ross. Bet you\'re pleased with it.

Fogs almost certainly Aftermarket. I seem to remember that the options list when the non Elford cars were new was virtually only a choice of 1 colour out of 6 or so, nothing else.

They were the classic aftermarket  lamps. In the 1970\'s and early 1980\'s, it seemed like everyboby had them on their cars. Look good on your car, I must say. They are period lamps and although not a Mazda option, as far as I know, they are the right age to look right on your car. I think only the Elford Turbo had front fogs as standard.

Looking good Ross, I had a set of them fogs on my first Mini back in the day when they were the thing to have lol.

Haha I\'m going to leave them on for the time being. Just got to get the back end welded up. Sort brake lines and order some tyres  then mot.
