I have purchased a Ford 34 glass bodied 3w coupe chassis and body and I have my daughters old 86 323 as a donor if I can use any bits
Question is what is really useable on a rod running a stock 302
323 is complete Any assistance appreciated Been a long time since last rod (38 chev) and times have changed
I know you can use the door locks I plan to use them on my 32
You'll be surprised as you get into it what bits you can use ..
From memory the 323 steering column has ignition horn,indicator, light and wiper switches attached ,you may or may not wanna use it.

I think you should join the Aussie forum and keep this to ourselves. I don't think our US brothers have much interset in this :wink: You probably don't know it exists cause you won't see the directory until you are signed up.
yes I am waiting for the daught to give here 323 up. (wont be long now)
look at the seats they are certainly small enough (front and rear)
it all depends on how you look at it.

Using a Mazda column allows the use of their Banjo lookalike wheel, the wiring loom always handy especially if you have the wiring diagram for the 323, seats, switches and anything else salvageable.

THe Mazdas in 83 were rear wheel drive yes? if that is the case they go really really well with a 13B turbo in them...really good at donuts. Where is Spoolin 20B when I need back up!!!!????
I don't know much about the Mazda 323 but I've got a few RX3 and RX7 parts on my 427 Cobra and my '37 Ford sedan has MX6 seats.

i heard a rumor i was mention on here :D :D :D OMG Im famous
yes you are correct these thing are little weapons with a 13B turbo, if you can get the power down and not brake the diff's you can set your self up one very quick car Btw if it's the model I am thinking of they have the same diff center as a 808

The 323 is not quite as sporty as rxs it is more the type of car a Nun would drive

To all out there: I do see that entry to the aussie site is guarded and you need to be "known" to have access Thats cool I'll just stick around till I get known a bit Are there many aussie dudes using the site and what type of information is available? Thanks
Theres heaps of Aussies on the site and it's just like home.The rules are ok and you get the poo thrown at you all the time.Not allowed to swear here cause the MR,Fatcat moderator has a little machine that puts lots of xxxx when you do. We all respect this but still try to throw the Aussie colloquialism in to confuse the issue. * that was a big word after 3 cans of bourbon.

Started out trying to be Hank Mavin. Soon figured out it was not the guitar that made the musician. I practiced constantly. Music was my life for many years. Ended up in a working band. That band broke up and I retired from music and took up fishing. I knew about amps ( especially valve stuff ) and started a small business repairing everything. Set up PAs and set up guitars...especially strats. Was asked to mix for a band to teach their sound guy how to mix live. They asked if I played and if I wanted to jam some day. I had just acquired a black strat with a maple neck and was itching to try it out. We jammed, i was asked to join the band and played the same night. 5 years later I retired again. It's only been lately that I have got interested in Rockabilly and have an itching to try my hand at the picking style. I am also keen to try a Gretch..I have a friend in a Rockabilly band that has just lost their guitarist and the questions are being asked if I would be interested in playing again. The short answer is yeah..but I couldn't afford the divorce.
