BenD Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 No I doubt it mate. I'm aiming for next year so I can take my time and enjoy my build I'm not that bothered if it takes me two years as long as it's done right. Quote
BenD Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 how did people get there prop shaft bolts undone from the diff. ive tried everything on mine to get them undone but i just don't seem to be able to grip the head of the pin with a spanner enough to undo the nut the other side. also what selant do people use between there panels i have picked my kit up now just finished putting it all in the garage and tidying up. i will start a build thread asap Quote
BenD Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I tried heat and soaked them in penetration oil they just won't budge Quote

BenD Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 ive been looking into a few diffent bits for my westy while my panles are at powder coating. (must update build thread) my main question is do mazda people use the standard westfeild suspension or is there better out there i think the mazda suspension is priced at 425 ish is this the best option for a road going few track days car or can i get better such as gaz. I had gas coilovers on my 5 turbo and found them to be quite good is this the case with the westy because they are almost the same price as Westfield Quote

Prawnabie Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I cut mine up and took it down the scrap yard, they didn't bat an eyelid. Quote
