Intro- RX flavoured TA22

[RX-22]

Hi guys,
Thought id finally share my work in progress. Its been a 14 year progression for my 22, from buying it without knowing how to drive a manual to now using it on the track.
I did buy it with the mazda already in place but the engine was as stock as they came back in the 70s.
Minor mods over the next 3 years didnt see it change that much but an accident saw a major rebuild necessary:
Stripped shell rebuild & paint
New dash, carpet ,roof lining, center console.
Extended bridgeport intake
48 Webber
exhaust
Front barke upgrade (VL turbo discs + calipers)
rebuilt front suspension + steering rack
rebuilt RX3 4 row rad
alot more i cant remember right now

There was a period of 5 years where i basically didnt even look at it, now over the past year or so the interest is starting to grow again.
In recent months Ive:
Replaced webber with EFI system (surge tank in boot)
Currently rebuilding front supension for track use.
Next big project will be the diff!!

Ive been trying to figure out how to upload pics, sorry, you have to bear with me. Maby a few hints thanks!

Ok, got some pics sorted.
Most of the rebuild pics are in 35mm (thats how long the affair has been going for) but here are some latest pics i happened to have on the PC.

Will see about scanning some prints of the rebuild and putting them up too.
Looking forward to discussing tech details with you guys and sharing info where I can.

Thanks Rocky,
Your right actually, its a flatlight (72) model. Ive just bolted in 74 lights.
I like the flat lights but the ones i have are really faded and wasnt really in keeping with the rebuild, i had these laying around so i wacked them on.
Only a little bit of a pain when i gotta unbolt the centre panel to fill up though.

ok i get it.. i was really last nite how bad the flatlights was damage or jst faded lens. cuz u can still buff them out. or u can still use the flatlights center jst trim the metal trim of the bubble lights for u dont have to unbolt the plastic center piece everytime u fills up.. any more pics ..

[RX-22]

The lights arent too bad actually Rocky. I didnt know you can buff them back, thanks for the hint
Will see about new pics soon. difficult to juggle business , study & biulding a car.
