Muzzled' 92 GS-ZE Dead... but new car coming home next week

Post by Muzzled »

Back in 07 i purchased this car. a 1992 mx-3 GS i got it cheap but had extensive work ahead of me to make it drivable.
When i baught it i had to replace the following.....

brake lines
gas tank
Front lower cross member was missing.( motor sitting on the frame)
NO INTERIOR when i purchased it.
this means no door skins either....
lovely time at the wreckers getting a whole interior..... and learning how it all goes together..... yay me....
bad alternator..... was fried when i baught it....
tranny was screwed..
Only thing good about it it had the oem sides....... and a decent paint job....

Friend of mine told me it was a DE motor, which was a lie...

called all the wreckers... no one has and the ones who do want to sell the bumper/lip as a whole for between 150-250. I dont have the posts to post in the wtb section AND my old bumper had one but it was molded into the bumper... couldnt be salvaged the way i got hit just cracked and split it all to heck.
