Omg, I hate F*ckin with this stuff dude, for real.
Started laying some bondo on the top and ended up putting too much hardner in it, and tried spreading it anyways. had to let that lil bit dry then sanded alittle and applied more. started to roll the edges and quickly learned it's easier molding in a back bumper then it is messing with a flat to flat surface. I ended up sanding the bondo off where i tried to roll the edges, and sanded the front down smooth. primed it. I ended up spraying just yellow paint with a sprinkle of chrome, because the paint store didnt have the color i thought they did. i was going to do it in yellow flake. only reason i sprinkled the chrome on there is because after i threw on the paint i noticed a few tiny scratches. The chrome will pull your eye and you wont notice the little scratch marks. LMAO!!
So on all the sides and back im just going to wrap it with fleece. It looks like a-- sis i didnt get to put the color i wanted, but F it. lol
This weekend once i get my coilovers on... i'll feel better. hehe
I want to go ahead and get this lip also. oh yeah, i forgot to take before and after pics of the speaker box. it's just a normal squre box anyways. I might have some pics of bondo work ive done back in the day.. if i find some, ill post it. later

My previous mazda was a 92 GS that looked EXACTLY like yours. I too painted my calipers yellow. I do have pics but they arent scanned but when I do, I can post them up for you if you'd like. I have a 94 now but it needs quite a bit of work before it's road-ready. I miss dirving it but if its not a total loss, I just picked up an 08 subaru Legacy 5 spd for my wife (a lot of fun). Things are looking great for you on your project, keep up the good work!

Welp, I was outside today taking some snaps of the kids, and thought i'd play give my mx-3 some attention as well. I bought my wife this camera, even though we already have a nice camera. Why did she want this one? .. it's pink. lol
She just had to have this camera that is pink, thin, and a big screen. Anyways, I'm getting the money's worth out of it for her. haha
Here ya go...

Here in the picture is some of my clean garage and a sexy mx-3. Oh, yeah... and a sexy guy.

I really hate to say this, but... Other then my wife's rear end, I've fallen in love with another rear end.

Just a pic of my ride. Hoping someone will photoshop it lowered with a black lip.
Image

Playing around with the camera and ended up wanting to keep this pic. looks awsome.

Thats all i got for now. enjoy!

I think thats just the picture with my headlights... Passenger side is pretty clear also. Once I put the coilovers on, Ima take some glamour shots... there will see.

Outlaw? ... Bro, Trust me. The rims don't look at good as you think. I'll take some pics of the bad parts about the rims.

Can't wait till I lower it. Waiting for my sister to get done dying her hair so my bro inlaw can rent the spring compressor's.

We'll see what she looks like in acouple hours...

WTF????!!!!!
I drop my car... and it's higher!! lmao
Dude, seriously.. I've dropped a few cars, and this has NEVER happened. My bro has quite a few cars as well and he's never seen this before either. Does anyone know how long the coil springs are pose to be on a coilover kit???
This is crazy... If anyone can help at all... please call... 1-(334)-790-6215

Bro... We lowered them all the way. We don't know whats going on.
They were some extra coilovers I had for the crx. Guess this is what i get for using coilovers off another car. lol
Also.. lmao.. your gonna laugh at me. We tried to put the stock springs back on, and they would not go back on because the coil spring compressor was compressed all the way. when we took the springs off they kinda popped off cuz we couldnt get it compressed all the way. lmao.. omg..
So... Im screwwed. My car is still on jacks.. and will be until i can order a new coilover set.
I looked at some drop zone coil overs and they look they same as these.. today was just a straight up waste of time. anyone got any ideas as to why it would not drop?..
