I Restored This Facebook Marketplace Mazda Wagon In 4 Months!

I found this Mazda 323 Wagon on Facebook Marketplace after seeing comments of people saying to just cut it up for rust cuts! 🛑 Before it was sent to the scrap yard in pieces, I bought it and did a quick 4-month restoration which was a massive hustle looking back on it. Now, I've condensed the entire 10-episode build into one epic edit. After 10 episodes of panel beating, rust repairs, paint, engine fitment, wheels, and piecing the interior and all the other bits of the car back together, the project is officially finished. If you missed the original series or just want to see the whole before-and-after transformation without the fluff, this video is for you. I took a classic Mazda wagon literally saved from the crusher and brought it back to life with a fresh custom green paint job, some killer wheels, and a ton of work.
