Scrap Huntin' Raya Edition.

After a few times (Tutup Raya maa!) visiting the same scrapyard, today I went again and lucky me, the shop is open. So, went to find a few stuffs. Not lucky me, most of the wanted stuffs had already been taken by Kamachi. Chet. The shop that I visited just now is one of the Kamachi's supplier. All Weber, rims, and rare stuffs had been taken by them. Haiya..

Since the owner of the shop had been following & helping me finding stuffs, its kinda rude if I didn't buy anything. So, just took this steering which is from Datsun and also this Honda Mugen spoiler. The EG hatchback one. Still got the Mugen emblem too. And come and guess the prices?


I guess I'll try to alter the tapak for the spoiler, and the steering will be refurbish and will be used for drifting purpose since my current one has too much offset till not suitable for fast steering work. Prices again? Less than a single purple note. Damn good buy I guess.

And finally, one and only 808 that I found during my Raya's trip. A coupe with TS Cup looks. Already chat with the owner, and he gave me the scrapyard location. I'll definitely will come back to the scrapyard next year!





Gosh I miss my car soo much. Im808 said the car will be done by next week....End. Sigh. I guess you cant rush perfection right? Kekeke.

Shop Visit : Oldschool's Heaven Round 2!

Guess what? I went to scrapyards again! Since the business is running good, Im spending some of it for Bee's parts. And again, the mission was to find a pair of fenders, but other items were found. LOL~ The first scarpyard is located at Chan Sow Lin area but there's no Mazda parts there. Sigh.

So, where else to head? We went to the previous scrapyard and were hoping BIG that there's a pair of the fenders. Hahaha. Arrived, Jaguh saw a bulk of meters which we didnt see it before, and the search begun. What we found was :


3 sets of Mazda 808 speedometer. There's more but these three is enough. We asked the boss for a price and he gave us a good price. I put it aside and search a few more stuffs.

And the next stuffs were the tail lamp. Yes, I dont need it and I'd said it but I found out that some of the RX3 were using this tail lamp. So why not? And the second tail lamp is tagged as Mazda 808 parts. And I were shocked coz I never saw this tail lamp version. We checked it out and it belongs to Toyota. I guess someone had custom fit it to 808. It is nice but I dont want to take any risk during fitting it. Anyone knew the tail lamp is from what model?


And an emblem. This is from the square lamp grille version. The boss didnt want to sell it separately but after a few bodek-ing, he sold it to me BUT the dirtier one. Nehh, its OK. It is VERY VERY cheap for this rare stuffs.

Arrived at my home, Jaguh helped me to disassemble Bee's current tail lamp. And trying to fit in the shrout. We'll do it another time I guess as we arrived at my home quite late.

Uhh, I guess my room will be a store soon. 2 in 1 room.

So, my new stuffs are the tail lamp. Will refurbish both tail lamps tomorrow I guess.

A new functioning meters. I guess my RX-Z speedometer will be a history soon.

And the 'M' emblem.

That's for today. Will update the DIY restoration soon. Stay tuned.

Shop Visit : Oldschool's Heaven!

Today I went to a scrapyard! Yay! A new achievement in my life. LOL~ Anyway back to the story, the mission was to find a pair of a god-damn Mazda 808 fenders. The scrapyard was located somewhere in Ulu Yam. Yep, that's very far from my house. And of course Jaguh was with me. Before we arrived here, we saw a few Mazda 808 on the road. One at a chopshop and the other one was at a workshop.

We stopped at this two location. The first one, we asked the chopshop tokey but he said its not his and I already tought of stripping a few stuffs on the car since every badge and etc is complete. Nothing was missing. But the tokey advise us to came back in 1-2 weeks time to see if there's an owner to claim it, or otherwise Im willing to tow it back to somewhere. Hehehe.

Second shop? Well, it belongs to an uncle. Hargh, again dissapointed. So after a few calls for a direction, we arrived to this scrapyard, which I already forgot the shop's name. Hehehe. And if you asked me, this is a HEAVEN despite everything there were messy, not in order and kampung theme.

Gearbox anyone?

And it was raining... Fuh, it was like in a movie, a horror one. So, we asked the boss for a 808's fender, and yes they have it! Went to the location, and dissapointed again. Yes, they have it. ONE piece and rusty. Chet.

Again dissapointed, we went to see some tail lamps. A few pairs of 808's tailight. I was very tempted to buy the rectangular tail light for 808, but there's no point of me buying it since my tail light is still in good condition. So off we went to search other stuffs while Im thinking a list of stuffs that my car doesnt have. Was looking for a center console but they dont have it, and a few other stuffs that I found was:

Driver-side chrome lining.

A shrout for the radiator.
Very rare find! A pair of vented thingy for the rear pillar.

Another rare find was the skyline rear panel! Bought it for a Kelab Kereta Lama member.

A gear set for driver's side window complete with two lever.

The cost? More than hundreds for all these small stuffs. Expensive? Yes. Am I satisfied? Yes! Why? When I bought my Bee, everything that I did with her were an adventure. It was like putting back together many pieces of Lego. One piece at a time. I dont have this memory with my Getz as everything is complete, just upgrading the looks.

Well, we'll go to another scrapyard next week somewhere in Nilai or in KL. Thank you to Jaguh for accompanying me today.
