This is an RX-4 (I think anyway ). A rare animal, especially in 4-door form.

Good Luck with it!

It won't be anytime soon before it's done,the pics make it look better than it is, and depends on parts availability. Anyone know what else ran the 1.8 engine that's in it?

manta mad

Groovy set of white walls on it aswell!

As i worked on the Mazda RX2 / RX3 / RX4 / and 616 in the early 70s.
i would hazard a guess its a 616 .
its so long ago and they all looked similar apart from the RX2 / RX3 That had 4 and 6 tail lights

afraid i didn't see your post naming it as a 929,cant say i've seen 1 before,but i would imagine the B1800 ENGINE would be the same ?

carchaeologist

What else ran the B1800?

G Luxel

Is that an original irish regd car...never saw one of them before....

kev1.3s

Lovely car very unusual best of luck with it.

Not originally, but it has been cleared, to the confusion of the VRT Lads.. These were never sold here new afaik, though i don't know what was the first Toyo Kogyo vehicle sold here?

rugbyman

know very little about Jap stuff
but I once had a Mazda pick up called a B1800, 1987 or so.

Sorry, as I write I realise this info is no use to you ,it was a diesel, same B1800 name though,
I know I bought it in 91 for small money,another of my money making schemes that failed, but it turned out to have a cracked head, though drove Ok.
My wife refused to be collected in it.

Regards Rugbyman

davoxx

saw that too .. was very very tempted .. but it was other side of country

does it run?

JoeySully

I went to see it just bore you but decided not to go for it - bit too much work for me. But for the money its a grand car. The doors close perfectly with that low mileage car "click"

Good luck with it

not sure to be honest,but i think the early landcruisers either had the 1800 or 2200,they also made an e1800 one was a 20 valve,but yours is probably 8 valve.
you might be lucky and be able to put a slightly newer motor in it.

here's a link for mazda engines,might be some help.

Yes, but not willingly, ignition system seems messy. If we paid what he was asking for it we wouldn't have bought it either.

should be able to get parts here in nz lots of old mazdas around ones i have never heard of either at first i thought it was an early galant very simillar shape,if you need anything specific let me know im getting to now a few heads in the classic scene here,obviously would be an issue with postage /transport but i have sent starlet wings back to ireland for 50 euro etc

Kersh

I probaby have a headset for one of those engines. Come to think of it, I probably have 5

Never seen one of them before, but them interiors remind me of being small

These yokes are/were fairly common in Oz, back in the day.

You'd prob get parts from there fairly reasonable. The expensive bit would be the shipping...

Lights on the trailer were bust but our lightboard was too short! Good thing the ariel was on the roof.

went to the local car show in nelson last week and this was there you might appreciate it it was certainly the best restoration i have seen in years or it was never out of the showroom.pic below

Great looking car. Good luck with it.

Worth posting on http://oldjapanesecar.proboards.com/index.cgi? to see what's out there parts wise. You may well be lucky.
