The price tag on this baby was 2000$ for a 1994 Mazda MX-3 GS manual, with a tealy-green colour to it.
With that purchase I was ensured safety and e-tested along with all paperwork EVER done to the car. Yes, everything that was ever fixed or done to get the car maintenance wise, I own. I have papers that date all the way back to 1999 when the first repair was done! My father bargained down the price to 1700$ with everything still inclusive. I gave a deposite and she was to get the car saftied and etest for me. I get a email a few days later and she told me she paid 860$ for the saftey, it included rear rotors and brake pads, sway bar kit and right wheel bearing and hub were all replaced and are brand new. We paid 2000$ for it instead of 1700$ to compensate a bit for the safety.
Here's the baby from the back. I don't have a good picture yet and I'm not sure why.

Here's a weird picture form the front that I'm not sure why I took.

The only downfall to this car is one thing, the rust. There are two spots where this rust is located. Heres the side view from the passenger side

and a bottom view of that. It looks a lot worse than it really is.

Here's the bad rust. The owner before the lady I bought this from tried to life the car up on a rusty spot and poked a whole right through it. The mechanic saftey this car even though he said he shouldn't have with this hole. He just felt really bad for the lady who had already paid 860$ when she's losing so much so he saftey it anyway. Here's the up view best seen when the doors open (drive side).

Other than that that's the only problems with it. I plan on getting a body shop to take a look at these and see if they can fix them cause I have no idea how to even proceed. I'd LOVE to learn though. A friend told me I should try doing the the passenger rust myself and leave the driver side to the mechanic. What do you guys think?
Also, one modification to this car I would really like to do is somehow create a bigger grill on this car or close off this small one and replace it with a bigger one.

About a week after driving around with it I had my rear left caliper seize up. I've had that removed and replaced.

My real intentions for this car is to make it look more aggressive and more edgy. I also plan on doing a KLZE swap, but that's one of the mod's I'll be doing later after a few more cosmetic mods.
On a side note, does anyone know if it's possible to get a digital speedometer for this car? I don't mean complete make the entire speedometer digital but keep all the same aspects just add a little section with a screen that can give me my speed as a number digitally. I've seen some like this on other cars, if I find a picture I'll post.
On another side note, any idea where I could find another "PRECIDIA" sticker for the back of my car?
I'll keep you guys posted with my progress.
Any suggestions you guys would like to give to me and my project?
Hope to hear from you guys soon, thanks and I'm going to be part of these forums for quite some time!
