Got something delivered today. One of the only things I will be doing to the engine other than a lick of paint on the block!



Cam cover from America - $$$
Shipping to UK - $$$$
Customs costs - $$$$$$
Unique look and no Mazda Logo - Priceless

No the 323 one has a Mazda logo one side and the DOHC 16VALVE on the other.

This one is from a Mercury Capri XR2. A car designed in Italy using Japanese parts to be built in Australia and then sold in the USA.....

Cheers

Went to pick up a body kit from Equinox today. It all fit in my Hilux, which was nice.




Obviously im not ready to fit it but I wanted a nosecone and scuttle for positioning purposes and in the interests of colour matching and a deal I ordered the whole set, with clam shell wings even!

Cheers

Can you put up some photos of the body kit without the bubble wrap. I am looking into bodywork and cannot decide who to use.
