Edy's klde project No.2 (try again)….......
-
Can't belive,that engine runs so nice with DE brain.Completely different note.Rebuilding rear axle atm.Gonna take some time to get everything cleaned,painted and new bushes made.Especially in that heat. :roll:
-
You misunderstood me, when I said:
@7cbbb97e85:
looks like your getting stuck in to swapping that wiring over.
I meant that you were really cracking on with the job and getting it done fast.
What wiring did you have to swap over?
Did you have to swap things like the heater over?
What about the airbags?
-
Awesome stuff Edy!
-
sorry,admin.my fault. :oops:
there are tree seperate wiring looms.one underneath the dashboard & behind both wings,engine harness and wiring loom under the floor matt.older car has 4 bolt steering column and newer has 2 bolt so had to swap dashboard + column aswell.there is difference between distributors.a few relays in engine bay are different.that's the main things to get car going.
because i have older steering column-haven't got airbag.(hope,she'll pass M.O.T. with that setup).
both of my cars have alarm+rcl but they are different so that's another thing i have to sort out.
Yea,Marco.that's crazy.at least,weather helps a bit at the moment :D
-
Just forgot about heaters.they are the same only in black car i had electric controls(loads of buttons).had to remove electric motors and fit control cables to convert it to the manual one.
-
some progress on rear trailing arm bushes.after third attempt i got mould made in right size and finaly got my first ever polybush made :bigok:
-
Great work! You got liquid polyurethane? I recommend grease too :-)
-
Yes,Marco.From company beside you.i hear'd about the grease so must get some. :)

Slowly getting back to garage at evenings.There are few pics of rear axle…..

Looks wicked love the colour scheme!

Good work, love the poly bushes too :)
I'm sure there are a few of us who would like to strip the underneath and getting it looking new again, looks really good :D
-
Long time since last update.No time for mx3 at all.Have all welding finished,all wheel arches and sills treated with waxoyl and rear end finished.front axle and engine are getting stripped out atm.dealing with ignition and vris issues.also won a really nice back box in ebay.pics to come.

Hi all!!!! A little update. I noticed that there are couple of last pages missing of my project,but not big deal. I had to put mazda offroad since february due too hi expenses on fuel(50 miles daily to work and back) and get diesel car. She is still getting started up and driven around the yard. Mot runs out in couple weeks but will put new one on. She will be getting bodykit from white mx3 and full respray after mot. Really want it back on the road and looking for cheap insurance for weekend driving.
