First seen on google earth, I tracked down the owner and offered his 1988 Mazda 121 Shades a new chance at life
A capri turbo was purchased as a donor, and the rebuild began
I stumbled across a 3rd gen B6D engine with low km, price was good so decided to use that instead - adding the turbo parts from the B6T
A '98 Demio with rear end damage was also sacrificed for this project - brakes, knuckles, rear beam, mirrors, interior roof lining
12 - 15 months later, this is how she looks

Petrol tank was sourced from a 1998 Festiva (Aspire) Trio 2 door
Ford Capri Turbo parts used
