- BJII Astina SP20
I bought this SP20 5 speed a little over a year ago. One previous owner (Mum's friend) and it was in tip top condition for its age. A minty. Never crashed, serviced on time, full history known, and I got it for steal! Being 16 years old then, it had to be cheap. And this was a bargain that I just could not refuse.
Some pic's from the for sale add.
And then it all started!
Less than a week later I polished and waxed it, removed the side 'SP20' decals, and painted the wheels black.
Some detail on the wheels.
I then started work on the inside of the car. One of the first mod's was a 626 cabin filter. Done as per factory using factory parts.
Not long after that, I went on a family holiday through Asia, and I found a set of BJII electric folding mirrors dirt cheap. $25.00 for the pair and the switch!! (yippy)
First thing I did when I got back was install the mirrors and switch. Added the necessary signal wires for the passenger side mirror too.

Got a universal folding mirror control box and wired the mirrors to fold in with remote central locking. And open when key in ACC position.
GF 626 Eclipse carbon fibre front window switch trims next, and swapped the interior door handles to lower spec. The door handles look better without the painted silver lever IMO.
Ford KQ Laser intermittent wiper switch was next. Such a shame they didn't have this on the top spec 323 (SP20), but was available from factory on the lowest spec Ford Laser!??
Next, installed a OEM VW Bora red illuminated cigarette lighter. Looks factory! (cabpatch)
And installed an OEM Mazda UKDM MX-5 gearknob. Leather, piano black and illuminated red. The photo's didn't catch the colour correctly. It illuminated blood red. Looks really good at night.
Changed the AC control globes to some brighter globes, but still using them orange 'condoms'. Going to fix these soon with red globes.
Brighter globes in the cluster. Looks much better than stock illumination.
