I bought this car earlier this year, as a track/weekend car.
It's an 06/91 Mazda 323 Astina SP, in Mighty Grey. Think it's equivalent to the GT overseas - Power windows, sunroof, BP-ZE DOHC. Except mine has been converted to the BP-ME SOHC, as the old engine must've blown at some point over the 446,000km the car's done.
Still feels like the original gearbox, but the suspension is surprisingly solid for the age. Apart from some surface rust it's solid as a rock mechanically.
Paint's pretty awful, and it's been in a collision on the drivers side, as it has a repainted door and the sill is a bit dented. Sunroof needs a helping hand sometimes, power window switch is for drivers on the other side of the road, and the drivers side door trim has a bunch of wear from where someone's elbow has rested for many years.
Had to get a new windscreen as the original was cracked, and I got a new seatbelt as the original one was fraying. I'd like to avoid getting it defected, as it'd cost more to make it registerable again than its worth.
That's what you get when you pay next to nothing for the car though.
I've got a replacement black bonnet and grey drivers side fender to fit, and I've got a somewhat complete BP-ZE engine that I'm planning on putting in.
