My 73 Mazda RX2 has been languishing under a Tarp and carcover for 18 months. Took it off the road to fix some rot around the windshield. Well, between building the new house, selling the old house and not having a finished shop it has been neglected by your truely .

LAst month it was sunny so I removed the covers and got it started. Went to move it and the clutch hydraulics were shot.



Today I came home, pulled the clutch master and fitted a rebuild kit in it. Bled and works great, total elapsed time ~ 45minutes.



Fired her up, let the fluids warm up and down the street for a quick 70mph blast with no windshield. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!



Now to break out the metal working tools and devote some time to repairing the rot properly

You are correct, sir! That IS a crappy pic!



Ah, but what a car. I fondly remember my '73, even though it was a 4-door with an automatic. It will always have a place in my heart. I can't decide which end is sexier, the front, with that grille, or those seductive flanks with those hot round taillights!

Glad you're finishing her! So how many bugs do you have in your teeth after that quick run to 70 with no windshield? Lol
