Picked up a 914 Bumblebee last summer. It has been mostly sitting for the last 15 years. Front suspension refresh and new fuel and vacuum lines, address a slight oil leak, etc. Everything is easier with the engine out.

For those of you who remember the Group B Rally Cars from the '80s.
This was an obscure model - Mazda 323 GTX, only 1200 sold in the US, probably less than 1/2 that number exist today. Quite expensive in 1988 (over $15k). Anyway, the owner died, car was rotting in his back yard in Dallas, I bought it out of his estate and started going to town. Re-commissioning a car that has sat for 10-years outside is a lot of work.

Careful with the transmission in that little Mazda, you will not find another one

Wow!
Dry ice blasting is your friend? |
Wow! is that ever a nice job you did on the mazda. Couple hours invested there, for certain.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it, it was a ton of much work, I wondered about half way through if the juice was worth the squeeze. I even had to make suspension bushings on my lathe as nothing is available aftermarket or from Mazda.
@Scott Douglass - No dry ice, all done by hand, sanding by hand with traditional sandpaper and then painting combined with powder coating. |
Picked up out 68 912’s 5-speed from a fresh overhaul.
