November 30, 200916 yr Author comment_394546 Oh and while I think of it - If you're getting fender mirrors CAN I PLEASE buy your current ones???They're the only thing I need to do now to speacial interest reg my '4. I also have an old mazda sales brouchure for RX4's in the glove box. If you want I can scan it for you as there's pictures showing the original fender mirrors? You mean the mirror on the car now? It only rocks a drivers side one. All yours man :D Do you have a picture of the genuine mirrors? You bought this from Ace? If so gah, this is very clean Yea man brought it from Ace. Its very clean, paint is a little fader but apart from that its a great car. Report

Yeah whats on it now, just driver will do for now. That is a genuine ADM one isn't it? I've got pics (in the brochure) of the genuine JDM fender mirrors. Report
December 1, 200916 yr comment_394673 '77 rx4's had the same "merc" front end and a very average rear. 12a or 13b (as RX4 came with both) conversions are very easy with these legality wise. Just saw these on ausrotang. This is what a '77 rx4 looks like.... "Merc front".... and "very average rear".... :D Report

Easy its all yours. As far as i know its original, everything else on the car is! Late model rx4's look crap :D Lucky i have a pimping wagon rear end haha. Report
December 2, 200916 yr Author comment_395028 Something wierd happened tonight, I had the venetian sitting around from my VW fastback, so i picked it up and lined it up with the mazda.... and it Fits! The venetian from a euro fastback fits a Jap station wagon haha. Ok not perfect shape for the window but i doubt people will notice, saves me getting one custom made! Just need the side windows done now! Pics to come! Report

Stole a new shift knob from U-Pull-It :P Still to come: Rear 1" lower Stereo install Curb Feelers Fender mirrors Custom Side window venetians Edited December 6, 200916 yr by RA28GT Report
December 6, 200916 yr Author comment_395865 What is a curb feeler? These things: Its a hotrod/ratrod thing to do. Alerts you before hitting a curb when parking hence not messing up your walls. Report
December 6, 200916 yr comment_395872 very tidy wags!!! nice work once again. oh and curb feelers are supposed to go at the front :P cheers, scott Report
December 6, 200916 yr Author comment_395874 very tidy wags!!! nice work once again. oh and curb feelers are supposed to go at the front :P cheers, scott Your right they would make more sense to be installed on front (although maybe not for reverse parallel), however Ive seen the installed front and rear before. I put them on the rear because it looks cooler ;) Report
December 6, 200916 yr comment_395909 Looks sweet. Not sure if I like the port-a-walls on it. Would like to see it with double whites as a comparison. Not really a value for money exercise though I guess. So easy to do though I guess. Jeez you must keep John in business with port-a-wall purchases. I have them on the Stout and my Corty but I went with Derrel whitewalls for the Rolla cos I didn't think they would suit. Although they looked killer on your 20. So hard to decide. Oh and by the way..... curb feelers are the tits. Love 'em. A great excuse to have a little bit more chrome on a car. :P They will look awesome on the wagon. I think the walls will grow on me too.

Yup John loves me haha. Although Darryl has been around my place like 10 times now between me and my brother so he knows me pretty good now! I love the port-a-walls, so much more than the single wall (although double would of been interesting?), ive always liked the port-a-wall look on anything 'standard' looking. Also thinking about rocking a front lip (notice the toyota fender mirrors!) Opinions? I can get this exact lip cheap in fiberglass. Edited December 6, 200916 yr by RA28GT Report
