Before stoopid mother nature ended my fun (Blizzard) I worked on the car for a few hours. Installed the new sun & flame.
.....and the new windsheild trim.
I made driving light brackets out of hardware store 8" shelf brackets. This killed two birds with one stone, as the bracket seconds as a plate holder. My stock plate holder was bent beyond fixing. I trimmed the brackets to size and added a few holes. I have already painted them black, so no worries LOL.
I thought the rear plate lights were burnt out, but they were actually working, they were just very, very dim. The whole thing looked like a fixture off the titanic, so I decided to start from scatch.
I used a piece of aluminum and a 3M backed strip of L.E.D's to build my creation. Soldered the original plug onto the L.E.D strip. I ran the wires through a rubber grommet and drilled a few holes to mount it to the bumper. It looks and works much better then the old one. :shrug:
Oh....the novelty plates were for mock-up purposes, in Ontario you need to have a proper plate front and rear. LOL
Had hoped to wire in the Stereo and fog lights, but mother nature had other plans for me. (snow shoveling)Last edited by IMACHU2; 01-30-2012, 09:34 PM.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

Thanks guys. I must correct myself, I learned you can use iridium plugs with nitrous! I have been dragged into the fuel injection age, but I am not ready to give up my copper spark plugs.....yet. Platnum is a big nono though. (It melts off the tips).
The car is getting there. Next-up stereo wiring and restore/fix/clean/paint the interior. Hopefully the nitrous kit gets here soon, it would be ideal since all the wiring has not been fastned down yet. I was stressing about the interior, because I have no room to lay it all out to paint it. My shop is full of crap and the 323 and my garage at home is full of broken Mustang. I used to roll the car into the driveway, but lately there has been like 10 cars in the driveway (rented shop). I just got the furnace in the store room at my store fixed, and then I had a great/horrible idea. LOL. When the furnace broke, I just closed the door, and thought who really cares if the store room is cold, but it got so cold back there, my computer server would not work.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

Very unseasonably warm weather had me changing my plan of attack today. I decided to take advantage of the nice day and dig out and paint the interior. I drove! the car out of the garage and into the sun. It really needs a wash, but it was nice to see it outside.
I spent half the day looking through my Mazda crap. Looks like I saved three 323 interiors, which was good cause I was able to get one fair conditioned one by picking, and choosing through all of it.
I scuffed all the plastic with a 3M pad and cleaned it all with a wax and grease remover. This was a much more epic project then I expected.
I painted it all with Duplicolor flat black interior paint. I used this on the dash previously, it works really good. The interior is now all satin black instead of, green, blue, and grey
Next round I am considering, painting the blue back seat black to match the MX-3 front seats. In time I plan to replace the MX-3 seats with black Suede aftermarket units. The MX-3 seats have seen better days. I need to paint the front seat brackets and instal the whole works too.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"
