got myself another protege!!!!!
 

yep, after 2 weeks of havin no car an being stuck at home and bouncing off the walls because i couldent drive i found another one ,

a white 92 dx 5spd for 800 cdn,, an its in amasing shape for the price.. not a spot of rust on it cept a spot on the front lip of the hood about the size of a loonie , no biggie.. also she is stripped down to the bare metal o nthe rear drivers side door in a spot and another spot on the trunk.. so i'll jus get soem primer an paint an that'll be fixed...

the major problem is with the roof o nthe interior... the people who had it before me were chain smokers to the max:mad: ..yep the roof is brown instead of blue ... so the smoke is in all of the apolstry(sp?).. anybody know any home remedies to egt rid of this? i dont really wanan have to spend a buncha money to get ti professionally cleaned.. because i just started a new job and am between pay peroids an wont get paid til the pay after the one im on so 3 weeks.. i'll post pics as soon as i can.

just stip the car and wash all things with a carpet washing machine.... shoulda take you about a day and everything will smell shampoo :D

well here are some pics of my buddys pro (vormav`s 92 DX 5 speed)

thats from that last people who smoked more than chimneys:mad: :eek: :crying: :tear: :squint: :squint fi

god smoking is nasty..

just go to a junkyard and get another one ..
forget cleaning it

awesome car for 800$can

I paid 500$ for a 323 1991 at the begenning of the summer.... It now have 270 000km and its running great! I like it a lot :)

By the way how much milleage does it have on engine/car ??

The best to do with roof is to buy one at a junkyard, it would cost you something near to nothing :)

have fun with your new car :D

look at the roof light, there seems to be resin on it :D

umm, based on the interior of your car... i dunno if it was supposed to be blue. Your seats are a brown color, so it really wouldnt make sense for Mazda to put a blue ceiling in.

As for your spelling... i believe it is "upholstery."

As for your odor problem... one word... Febreeze!

I paid 500 for my 1991 323 also , you can't kill that little car even with a gun ... shoot it and it would still RUN .. pun intended

i belive his white dx his new one has 185 000kms or sumthing like that its low anyways, and yea that muffler is a little farty but how are you supposed to know when you buy them?

yea.. shes a little farty.. but when you compaire her to al lthe hondas around here.,. its nothing..

tonigth me an Semtex swapped the roofs outa my car and his parts car because my parts cars roof was well.. totaled as you guys saw from the pics.. sience i dont have a digital camera.. i have to wait for semtex to either send me the pics so i can post them or for him to post them.. , but we did a few before and after shots,, and the two roofs by each other so you guys can see how nasty it was.

finially i can breathe fresh air :D
