New BA Astina owner

SP BLING · 25-02-2008, 11:50 AM

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie to astinagt.com as I usually hang out on ozmazda.com

. My current ride is a 05 Mazda 3 SP23, but I've just purchased a 97 Mazda Astina Hatch to use as a second car/daily driver.

It needs a little lovin to bring it back into shape and to get it registered but I think it'll be worth it!

The night it came home:

After a wash and a bit of a clean:

Be gentle with me as I work out differences in the models

Cheers,
Mic

Nah, damage ain't too bad. I picked it up from the Auctions as a repairable writeoff. Just trying to track down a complete nose cut at the moment. Skitz I'll keep you in mind....

Heh, well from this site I've learnt:

- that my car didn't come with a glovebox light
- the PCD for the wheels, if I decided to get different ones
- how to adjust my headlights!

And eventually I'll probably be looking up wiring diagrams...

So yeah, very useful
