1982 mazda 626 montrose want make a retro J

Always a classy hardtop, without trying to look pseudo sporty.

Nice car.

I like that.

Really like them, something different too. A Mazda 2.5 V6 would be nice in it.

Bookmarked.

One of my schoolmate's Dad ran the local Mazda dealership; these cars were brilliant in the day, just the usual tinworm self-destruct did its worst. He put away an RX2 for 'later on' - when they retrieved it, from their old paint shop, it fell apart.....

granada it went down to devon,just to big,couldent move in my garage,when i seen this i rember my m8s dad haveing one brand new in the 80s,other m8 haveing a saloon in the 90s yes it was rusty but ran like swiss clock,i was going to put a rotary engine in it,but in two minds about the car it is so original,how this one has survied so intact and never been touched it is a credit to last owner,get the clutch in and enjoy,

started doing the clutch last weekend,easy to do,but a pain,the bolts are behind the engine couldent get socket in or rachet spanner,had use ring spanner.some were tight anyway got it out and starter was near the top off the engine that was fun and bagged and tagged bolts sad git I know,pressure plates had to take in work get fitter drill holes out bigger,to small for dowls on the flywheel,but they were there,so was going finsh it this weekend but its snowing,so leave it fight another day,and the floor off the car is very clean never been touched so might underseal it while gearbox is out,unreal J car never seen wielder,my m8 says clutch I took out was someone rideing the clutch was bit worn,

right its back on the road clutch is in and its flying again,did engine engine flush oil change and filter,it needs deep clean oily hands and think tappets need doing,but what a beast being very low to ground think your going twice as fast,brill

Great to see this car still in Great condition. It used to live down our road and I know the guy who used to own it, it was his pride and joy till he took ill.
