actually I have spolier coming in it fits on top I've just don't know if I'll fit it, when it comes to melbourne I might sell it off as mine is in paint already.

yeah it's amazing how much is carried over. The motor is exactly the same Not one change - Reason being - they did not have to do anything even for emissions
the only thing done is Airbag because all cars by 1995 july had to have minimal a drivers air bag for - certain size and price etc. other wise mazda would not have done it.
The yanks made it compulsar in 1992 for them.

Fro the GV1124 - there is a way of getting the nicer leather wheel - use the Mx-6 and 626 Ge one. It's the same I air bag unit swaps straight across.

Only thing I'm not positive on but I have feeling you will find the GV1124 is related to the astina BA wheel more then the GE wheel so you might have to remove two msall metal tangs or bit's. but then the air bag unit stock one drops right into the leather wheel.
But finding now a good leather Ge 626 wheel can be hard.
And it's not a bad wheel and it's still legal.
You will find some bits are borrowed from the BA as well I have feeling the ventilation control panel is. funny it's push button where as the early ones were all slider cable.

The irony about the Gv1124 is it's really just a big cost cut exersie by mazda/ford japan to have one body/shape and panels for the final run.
To be honest I don't think it really was sold out side of japan and Aus. because i've never seen anywhere a GV1124 LHD. all are RHD

GV1023 yes I've seen LHD.

Irony of both of them is they are 7 seaters. but I guess if your doing conversion it don't matter too much. but one thing you both have I wish my 5 seater had is cruise control.
