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
..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.

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

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!
