The repairs were on a 1990 Protege version of the 323 -- the hatchback. It was a great car, other than the expensve of the body parts. Mazda quit making them in 1994 or so and there are still a lot on the road. Stuff like headlight bulbs and tires and such were very cheap to replace. Just got expensive when you got into the body parts. lauraknospamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
