Progresssss, its starting to look like a car!
Goodies from RAY CROWE (malloy mazda), HIGHLY recomended. parts ordered thursday 9am,recieved friday @ NOON!
Diff installed... holy crap this is NOT a smart idea to do yourself.... lying on my side, balancing the diff on the jack securing it with my hands, then using my feet to pump the jack... surprisingly only took 5 minutes.......
Axels, knuckles and shocks in...

gas base plate? for the gas tank neck, painted and installed
Fuel pump lid back in...
front control arms
Fabbing battery tray.... design changed a few times due to fitment..
goodies... didnt end up using the top brace as it was too bulky for the cover
Front Knuckles getting cleaned and painted
rear calipers painted
Exhaust before and rusty ass midpipe (painted the exhaust tip because it was scuffed and had some black plastic melted on it... after sanding it smooth it left scratches so i painted it a low gloss/almost flat black... it was inspired by the apexi noir exhaust.. love the color, not too sure how it will look on the car or if i want to finish painting the muffler aswell (mostlikely wiill))
