So, one day i was looking on kijiji and i seen a ford probe for 900 bucks. I figured, hey what the hell why not? So i go meet the guy and see the car and it needed some work, but ran and drove fine. So i get her to my buddies house and start to do some bodywork, ordered new d1 style fenders. And one day i was like.. This car sucks. So i post my add on kijiji for my Probe and i get a bunch of offers and trades. Nothing i was interested in. Until i came upon this 92 mx3. So i click the picture and go into the ad. And find out, its my buddies mx3 and he is selling it. So i call him up and i say "I am buying your mx3". He asks what happened to the probe. And i tell him i want a different car and what not and he goes.. Ill trade you my mx3. So we continue to talk and we went and looked at the cars and came to an agreement. The next day we go and drive the cars to their new homes. And switch all information and receipts etc. So i am now a happy owner of an mx3.
So i get back home and i was curious to see what was for sale for rims. Because the mx3 had 2 steelies and 2 stock rims and it looked absolutely horrible. So i seen an ad for these 18 inch rims and tires, so i grab my phone, call this guy and tell him ill give him the 450 dollars, bring the rims to my place. So in about 45 minutes he shows up. Great, i have rims now. I then realize i need tuner lugs. So now i am pissed because tuner lugs are expensive enough as it is, and i wont be putting my rims on today. So i go to my local car club forum and see if anyone has any lugs. Turns out a guy has 20 pink lugs with the tool... that fit my car. Excellent he wants 40 bucks for them. Im flat a-- broke at this point. And i cant sell my subwoofers because every pawn shop in the area is closed. So i tell him, hey here are some subwoofers. Give me the lugs, and you can have the subwoofers lol. He arrives at my house, we do the trade, chat a bit. And now i am happy. So yes, that is my story.
Now for the car...
1992 Mazda Mx3 GS / Traded a shitty probe for it.
Needs brakes done.
Sounds like it has an exhaust leak. Checked underneath, i think its the cat.
Has small frame rot in front of rear tires. Moms bf's dad is welding it some new metal for me.
So here are some pictures. Also it looks like it had a front lip and it got ripped off. Because my front bumper looks like s--- now.
So, i am going to replace the brake lines and see how it goes from there. If that doesnt work i think ill need to replace the master cylinder. Or the caliper are seized. I am not completely sure yet. But i will be taking a closer look probably tomorrow.
I need to get under there and run the car and figure out where this exhaust leak it because its terribly loud. Once i figure out what that is i will be getting that fixed aswell. I got myself a mastercard now so im going to be going ebay crazy more then likely lol.
Will post more pics as i work on the car and order new parts. Thanks for reading
