Hi there

First, sorry for my bad english

My name is Stephen. I come from Croatian and I'm 20 years old.
I own a preserved specimen of nice white Mazda Astina. Engine 1.6L carburetor with LPG.
I own the past two years. I got it from my uncle when I passed the driving test. She was broken. The entire first end has been broken, engine and drive parts fortunately were not damaged. The uncle is drunk with 100 km/h (about 62 mph) crashed into the woods and hit a tree. Almost killed himself.

After a year of downtime and editing interior rushed at the tinsmith.
The interior did not much touched. Just slipped again cables for speakers.
My plan is to find a nice seat on the GT version (popularly called recaro) and last matched spoiler. What is in my country very hard to find. In fact there are not many copies of Mazda 323F BG GT. They are mostly BA versions with 2.0L and 1.8L engines. A alot 1.6L (carb or injection) ('89-'94) and 1.5L ('94-'00).
My plan full stop parents and limited money. But I hope that the final project will be the kind of how I imagined ...
Plan: the interior of the GT, rear spoiler of GT and 15 "wheels with 195/50 R15 tires.

Maybe if I can get another Mazda bumper for less money, do Laguna bumper conversion as made Nail F.

The first time I write something on this forum. Enough understand what you write without google translator, but for writing too me google translator is so badly needed.
Later I will put some pictures, when I bring home (as I wrote is currently at tinsmith).

EDIT: Maybe, if I am able, I buy a Mazda 323F BG GT. Maybe even this year.

Yeah.
It is very possible for young people like me. We like to drink, and a fast ride. And chances are that some accidents happen. My uncle is a little older, but is still in the stage of loving drink, and also likes to ride faster. I personally do not drink alcohol, sometimes when I'm driving in the teeth Scurry, but not too much. I had an accident with the car, I landed with my dad's car into the ditch and hit a bridge. I did not drink, but a little moment, not paying attention and I hit the bridge. Daewoo Lanos, '99, Dad's first owner, went to the car-scrap. If you want I'll post a couple of pictures of Dad's Daewoo, after the accident.

I decided before I bring the car home, post pictures of my Mazda, what she looked like before the repair. Some will think I'm crazy because I decided to invest in that car. But that was my desire. A repair is not so expensive. After I will write how much cost me the whole car repair.

Please post comments. You do not need much, just write than your opinion.

SerenaJ,
Yeah , indeed is "Oh my god!!!" And I almost cried when I saw her.

It is almost mended.
The windshield is purchased and set to car. The front end is taken from another car, so that nothing was leveled. Just don't have a rear shock. The springs are right.
Tires bad, but as I wrote my plan is to put 15" rims on. Rims already have, just the tires have to be bought.
I expect that in a week or two I have a car at home. Ready to drive. Expect more pictures also in a few weeks.

Well , I still waiting my Mazda.
In the meantime, I took my uncle's car. Mazda 323F BG, 1.6 16V GLX.
The red one. As you can see I'm a little disassembled. I've unscrewed the seat and began to clean. I'll see the final state. Does not that make a lot. Car has not been cleaned in over a year.

Even more pictures. And my uncle and my Mazda. Maybe next week I'm going after her. In the meantime I bought beautiful BBS rims. 15-inch, 6J ET 45. I miss a couple of emblems or plan to purchase.

Here they are.
I took a picture of a single rims. Now I'm at the stage to find tires. 195/50/15. They should not be too expensive.
Previously polishing rims.
I hope to be a nice looking my Mazda with these beauties.
Rims I bought from a friend with tires that have been burned on the road. Since my friend sold it to me for £ 150. What is not so expensive.
They look like BBS CH. But I think they is not. They have these tags BBS 6j 15 H2 ET45
But nowhere does it say the model. I only know that the BBS.
EDIT: I found model of my rims. In fact, the model is not known. So only the BBS. They came as equipment for Golf mk3 GT or GTi.
This is a model between RG 244(245), RC, RX and RX2. After the appearance. They are all very similar models.
EDIT no. 2: After a few hours of search I found that really there is no model. So this is a unique series made for additional equipment for the Golf Mk3 GT. At the point where should be write model (eg RM004) says only 473. So BBS 473. :(

Seven months. Every day for the past two months, I was watch this forum and grieve.
It is difficult. Very.
There are a lot of plans. Time is running out.
Tomorrow, 20.7. I go 200 kilometers away in another town to be enrolled for college.
After September or early October, all plans about beauty stagnating up of further.
"WHY?" you might ask? Then begin my academic year and I will be coming home every two weeks. :pale:

Please tell me what to do next? I have since probably next week, just two months. :cry:
And of course, all the money I had collected was spent on college. I'm angry now because of that. :x

GUYS , GUYS , GUYS! (And the girls of course!)

My Mazda is home. Today , 7.8.2016. at 19:40 (UTC+1 time zone) is finally came.
A lot of work still needed. The mechanic slipped the cables to the wrong places. LPG does not work.

Tomorrow I will return the cables to their places and cleaned up a little interior.
Pictures will be sure to share.
Then go BBS wheels. And then we'll see.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. :|
