:D Mazda lover for life...... yes it is a shame that this thread did freeze and not many left according to http://www.how manyleft.com 18 on the road. I aint even seen another bg on the road for a few years now.
Its even longer since i have seen another gt.
I will keep mine going for as long as i can. Its a shame at one time i had 4 bgs and a spare one....

I blame it on the government scrapping scheme that as killed alot of retro classic cars off.

Big respect to you Stjepan lets keep this thread alive. Would love to hear from any more vivid bg lovers

Mazda lover for life! :D

Too shame. But there are those of us who continue to hold these old beauties.
I have nosome big plans in their car. I am pleased with the way it looks. Body repair required planning held in top condition. The interior (I have a 1.6 16v) plan mandatory bet of GT. As well as some external parts.

In my town there's BG on the road. Only a few GT. But there are.
In Croatia there are still many old timer clubs that hold these older models of cars on the road. Required as soon filled my Mazda years, applying another old timer on the road.

Also respect to you Duwaine.
There are fans of us, only few of them know of this world club.

Oh yes 12 years in the making 5 bgs, 3 engine swops, 2 turbo builds. i can not remember how many sun roofs i replaced damn brittish weather :oops: haha.
The problem here in the uk is nobody wants to part with there bgs. There two on sorn 5 min from my house been stood for about 7 yrs and i go every other couple months i ask if they will sell it, i dont have a prayer any who.
I am still looking for another bg any body selling one in ( red), and mk1 precat gt alloys.
My plans for my gt are almost complete. Need to run in my engine and a few other niggles but almost there a year later :( :cry:

A lot of years you're in it.
Luckily I don't have sunroof.

It is the same in the Cro. Cars are dying, but no one wants to sell. And when they go to sell then banging a price that is unrealistic. There's a black an hour from me for € 2,200, 1.6 16v with some BBS alloys on, still tape player in it.

Red are rare. Especially GT.

I have not even headed this. Of all the plans I had, I was able to be bought BBS alloys

So the prices are going up.... i guess thats a good thing for the bg owners. But then again i have seen a couple going for 1-2 k even more for the gt with low milage and in great original condition. Damn where is my original Clarion tape deck.
White and black bgs here in the uk are rare. I have had 3 red 1 black 1 navy blue and a good friend of mine had 2 white. Yes red was a 90s thing back here in the uk. Now its white and white bgs do look nice.

It is somewhat good. But when for example you want to buy a car for his own part, it is difficult to find because no one will solve the car for the money worth.
I found a GT, for € 400, MOT 7/2016. I do not know why so many cheap sales. If I had the money went to pick her up, even if the parts. But I already have some other plans so I can not.

My plans are currently stagnating. My Mazda has not arrived of repair.
Plans remain the same. GT spoiler or a spoiler with 3rd stop light (probably from MadazInBris)
GT seats (if they are available)
electric mirrors (now are manual)
And Laguna bumper conversion
... That is all for now...


I didn't buy. I was late about 10 minutes to buy. I made a trip of 150 km in one direction for nothing. Not to be confused, Dad was supposed to finance a car after the current employer has not paid a salary. I returned the money the same day because I did not bought the car.

I'm sure that mirros will fit in package with spoiler. But than U would have to wait for some time to collect the money for it all. Because Dad not allow to order parts for "nonsense" as he says. That's why I started to work. But the employer does not pay a salary.

Yes , I know that. I will found seats in Croatia. Well , At least I hope...
