It was a kind of bright apple green which suited it really well.

Bright green you say?

Wouldnt happen to be the same as:

Thats my other one, However it looks more like this for now:

but i have another engine i rebuilt going in soon!

Hope you enjoy, though that ones more suited to the 'project' area of this forum i think

One of my favourite cars on the forum !!!!!!!!! :smoking: What a rare find in that sort of condition !!

I wouldn't touch it either, there's plenty of beat up ones to go modifying, this one should be kept as it is !

I wish I still had photos.. Yep thats the green, so the only difference between my pair and your pair is my green one was a coupe.. oh and they were both only a couple years old I bought the 74 wagon in 75 and the coupe was new in 76, so I had both of them at the same time like you too. I was a big fan of these little cars. They looked great too, when you look at the corolla, galant, 120y etc that they were sharing the market with.

Thanks man! I love it when people like the cars i drive, best feeling when people watch and give thumbs up! And yeah I have the green one, though it isnt beat up by a long mile, but it will be going under the modifying hammer very soon! I am purchasing (fingers crossed) a coilover race front setup, front race sway bar and in the market for a hilux diff to shorten and throw under the rears! It will alo have rear leaf springs reset very soon with a few leaves added so it can go a bit (lot) lower

The green is such a nice colour! when i get it resprayed (who knows when...) I will be respraying it that green. Then the next car on the list after this is an R100 or 1300 wagon, which will be bright orange or blue, I like to stand out

I wanted a coupe like the one you said you had, but I cant afford them everyone turns 808 coups into rx3 copies so your instantly looking at $15k+

Ok, for anyone that knows rotaries out there, I have a question!

12a bridgeport or 13b bridgeport. Both N/A with 5 speed box. Which would you choose and why - for this green car above! ^

Wondering if anyone else on this forum is an oldschool mazda fan or rotary fan? :O would love to see who is!
