#2 323 - 2001 sp20

About 5 weeks ago I started searching for a new car, and yeah, there was only really one other car I would ever follow up with after my 323 Astina Shades...

2001 Mazda 323 Astina SP20 with 152,000kms
Purchased Feb 2014.

This car was previously another member's car with different plates.
This SP20 was the cleanest one I had ever seen, obviously will treated throughout it's life. I'd always originally wanted an SP20 as my first car but didn't have the money back when I was 16. Throughout ownership of my 2003 Astina Shades I was always hesitant on spending money on stuff like springs and wheels etc because I always knew I was better off starting with an SP20 as the base.

It came the night I picked it up, driving it back from Brisbane gave me a change to give it a good first run to see what my new car was like.
The photos from the first few minutes of it arriving back home

Same spot I took my other 323 for its first photos.

The first weekend with the car I got going with changing stuff.
(Welcome to Mazdaville, there's another mx5 hiding in the garage)

Started by removing that heavy tow bar from the chassis.

Goodbye

Then I had to make that sharp cut out in the rear skirt looks less noticeable.

Cut out the plastic quite easily then rounded it off with a rotary sander.
