97 Mazda 323F BA - Lerch - 26-01-2023
hi everybody,
thought I would start a build thread so here it is
Picked this car up for the decent sum of £500 back in April 2014 with 12 months MOT, brand new tyres, front calipers, discs and pads and only 58k on the clock.Here's what looked like when we picked her up

Nice, always liked the Honda penta wheels. I've been tempted to get a set for myself on a few occasions.
