Well the TX now has 200sx rims on the front lol, but not back as I need narrower rubber haha.

Anyway, the car is so low it got stuck on the car trailer lol. it was sitting on the chassis when we were trying to take it down the ramp.

looks good though. This TX5 is a weird one, it has a slightly crinkly roof, (no dents) just abit wavy lol but the paint is almost new (or something) and done properly which is good and came up real nice after a clean. Im excited about it being all ready and drivable.

you're girlfriend could buy a Telstar turbo... heh, i know someone who has one for sale... but i wouldn't sell it to anyone on here though... i dont trust it enough lol... TX3's are generally expensive, my gf's one had a fair amount of body damage on it and it still cost her $1200 to buy... a good one (same shape as mine) can range from $2000 - $4000, i got mine really cheap for what it is.... give this guy a ring (dont know his name sorry) however im not sure if he still has it, it's a red KC/E TX3 in fairly good condition and he wants $1800 for it, his number is 0413 168 525, but like i said, dunno if he still has it, just say a mate saw it a while ago and it popped up in convo....

we looked at it yeasterday after soon!

WHAT A CAR!
we first thought it wasnt going to be a tx3 and it was! non turbo and fwd

How sexy are they?

Perfect Motor! started up fine first go no smoke no nothing! the motor got rulled recond 3 months ago and a new gear box 3 months ago!

it needs a really good paint job as most of it has faded heaps

and it has a few dents but my dad will pull them out for her *dads a spray painter by trade*
but it need a new drivers side fender!
but it comes with a ford sports stearing wheel

I seriously love those cars! and how in the back seats the arm rest wraps around you!

$500 I'm jealous! its a steal!

well it turns out that the TX5T did infact have a blown headgasket, water has corroded out the gasket in one spot. It will be going this weekend with any luck

Need to pick up some parts for it to get her going.

1. Turbo hoses from Mazda and one other hose
2. Array of Gaskets (Head, Inlet, Exhaust etc.)
3. Door Locks and Ignition as the ones on it are fizzled
4. Rear Quarter window mouldings
5. Proper TX5 Turbo Steering wheel
and a few niggly things I can probably get from U-PULL-IT

I cant wait to start driving it

Poor 626........

hope it dosnt rain!
the turbo tx3 are DOHC? and the non turbo are SOHC? is that right?

My dad and her have decied its going to be painted the two tone but the blue is going to be blue print (the XR6 Colour that blue sparkly one)

Going to be a very very good car once a few things are fixed up!
