greengartside Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looks bloody lovely does that. I can just imagine Norman and Gladys picking this up from their local Mazda dealer in 1983 and immediately fitting a tartan rug and a colostomy bag holder for those ‘incidents’.

bramz7 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Didn't that belong to that guy who used to have a similarly old Accord, and then a Carina II in Edinburgh? I'm sure I've seen it in the same spot on Flickr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisfan Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It was his girlfriends we believe, I owned the accord and carina II x2 after the guy in Edinburgh had them DeeJay and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Love the 323. A mate had one in the early 90s, and the 1300 motor was lovely. It pulled really hard over around 3k iirc. Driving position just right - really well designed car. I'm sure his had more grot on it 25 years ago. Looking forward to you bringing the old dear back to life.

MorrisItalSLX Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 That looks like a right little cracker. I had great fun in one hooning around a paddock when I was about 12. I crashed it into a creek. Yours is desperately crying out for an AA badge! DodgyBastard and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Spotted this today in kelso and it was pretty tidy too, what a coincidence after reading this just this morning, I've not seen one in the flesh for yonks.

DodgyBastard Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 RJC_5957 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_5956 by srblythe, on Flickr I fitted a new starter motor to the 323 which now enables it to start first time, it had been a right ball-ache to get going before with it only engaging every now and then but it now starts straight away and seems to run fine.I did other important jobs such as wire the stereo up to the ignition barrel which is just kind of dangling there, I need to find a steering cowling for it because it's missing. Annoyingly some twat has crashed into the car in the space of a week of it sitting here. RJC_5959 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_5960 by srblythe, on Flickr It has a big scrape up the front wing which wasn't there when I bought it, I am mildly pissed off but can't really say anything because I'm taking up more space than I've really got and other people do need to get by the car which was sitting further out than it should be. I went to East Kilbride this morning to pick up a set of wheels. RJC_5963 by srblythe, on Flickr It was a bit disappointing to find out that only two of them were genuine E21 bmw Alpina alloys and the other two are just copies that look similar. RJC_5964 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_5966 by srblythe, on Flickr They were free so I'm not particularly bothered that they're not all the same. My plan is to clean them up, paint them and replace the tyres then fit them to the Felicia.

I got the paint matched from the filler cap. I'm sure when it's dry, a bit dirtier and in daylight it will look fine. oldcars, Jim Bell, Skizzer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I waited on the guy turning up, I passed the time by climbing to the top of the tower which was a little bit scary! RJC_5991 by srblythe, on Flickr Nice view!

DodgyBastard Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 RJC_5336 by srblythe, on Flickr Mrs Foad is thinking about selling her 190E, it's a 2.0 petrol auto with some form of lpg system which we've never used. It's a little bit rough around the edges and possibly has a scratch or two on every panel. I was thinking about a roffle, if there's any interest I'll create a new thread with some more pics and info.Mot is out at the end of February if I remember right. drum, Dirk Diggler, Christine and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
