The 1972 Mazda Rx2.Time to get going

any update's on the shop or mazda JB ?

Shop please

ohmygodohmygodohmygod.....An update from Johnny, well 2022 is off to a fantastic start

Nah, House Elf’s are so last year.. Besides , there are loads of things they won’t do. Uni students on the other hand will do anything for money, beer or food, all depending how much month is left 🤣🤣

+2

that's it?

waiting.....

The big workshop had just kind of happened. Machines got put in and wired up. But it wasn’t ideal. It needed to be sorted out properly and things arranged properly. The idea always had been to organise a section for the Mazda that was pretty much cordoned off. So, I set about getting more organised,sorting out things as I went along.

The big panel beating hammer needed some maintenance

Easy with the right tools 🤣🤣

Then, to supplement my big panelbeating hammer,this was offered to me

Got to have a roller to iron out the wrinkles 🤣🤣🤣

One of the reasons things were so cluttered was the building of a room for the wire edm machine meant the machine itself had to be relocated whilst this was happening. In kit form it takes up a lot of space

Plus a chiller unit that I don’t have a pic of. So, exactly what I didn’t want to happen, did happen and it got put right down the end of the workshop,out of harms way,but unfortunately in Mazda territory. Not ideal 🙁

Before building the room I wanted to make sure I could bring it back to life,as it was bought as dead,and the price very much reflected that

Lots of messing around undoing the previous owners repairs….🙄

Got it to at least switch on

More time got the controls fully functional,so building commenced. As soon as the main structure was up,the machine got moved in

It’s not connected up. I still want to rotate the machine 90 degrees before putting it back together and building the end wall. But,it has freed up a lot of space and machines can now be moved to where they are supposed to be .And what has this got to do with the Mazda you ask?  Well….this will allow me to remachine high compression rotors to accept the Apex seals I need to use on a peripheral port motor. 😃

So in simple terms for a thick ex electrician what does the this new machine do?
