Nates 'Mazdaspeed' Astina

[Nate]

Mazdaspeed never sold a version of the bg astina, so i have build my astina up as a bit of a 'what if' MS actually got there fingers on it. As most of you will know this is not my original Astina, which was finally scrapped in oct last year, with all the good parts from it going into the new beast. the last three months have been spent, rebuilding and cleaning this new toy and it has come up rather well for a $1000 car :p

Hey nate lovin' the car. Looks sweet!

Have u had the doors re-trimmed? Or did the newer BG's come like that from factory??

[Nate]

eunos 100 door trims ... only sold in japan ... i was lucky enough (mega lucky actually) that there was a crash damaged one at the auctions when we were looking for a donor to fix my sisters astina, so we picked the whole thing up for $700 ... leather trim and all!
