I remember when this was first launched at the British motorshow. The chap on the Mazda stand said to me, "it's the best car in the world sir". 😂

[@alronvaneyssen3030]

Polish it, service it, lower it on some 18s then daily it for the time being ❤

[@Viliusdsgn]

A little hack for the future since you're mostly working alone - get at least 100ml syringe and a short hose for clutch bleeding. Get some brake fluid into syringe, plug it onto bleeding valve. Unscrew it and push down the syringe - most of the air will come up and will be replaced with fluid. Tighten the valve again and you're ready to go, no pumping or anything! Learned this trick from a garage neighboor who works on vehicles alone for a living, was a bit sceptical at first but it does wonders!

[@martinsherred8302]

Defo get all the bits together/needed and turn it into Touring Car Replica.You just don’t see them so got to be worth it.👌👍

[@JZS171-W]

It’s a survivor car Josh, please just tidy it up & move it on to someone that will cherish it. You can pick up Primera’s for next to nothing! Get your touring car fix from something a bit closer to the scrappy.

[@miniaturefun-guy]

After watching this I’m thinking you should keep it stock. Nice clean car.

[@Sadboiraceclub]

Crazy to see one of these on the channel. I remember flipping through the brochure and telling my old man to get one of these as his new company car years ago.

[@aerojohnw]

I used to own one of these. In Australia it was called a Eunos 500. It was Mazda’s version of a Lexus and was aimed to compete with BMW 3 Series etc. it was very cutting edge in its day. I still love the styling. Has aged very well. I also used to own a beautiful Mazda 1500SS. Also very cutting edge in its day. Enjoying your channel. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Australia.

[@dan44zzt231]

Get it running and pass it on, money towards finishing all the other stuff. I'd rather see you put time towards the Hydro Lude, or Datsun. You know to get any sort of decent fitment on the Xedos you'd be in for destroying the arches and weeks of fab work. Touring car stance looks epic because the bodies are tubbed.

[@johnsphoneshack]

Get some nice wheels on it a nice lowering kit and do a nice vip spec will be awesome. Will be something very different.

[@spainter1985]

Handsome looking car after a clean! Take me back to a time where "normal" cars sounded this good 👌

[@LucnotLuck]

Would love to see you wrap the car white then throw the livery on. Good stuff

[@dwarvinicus]

That is a LOUD engine bay 😮. Really really great job on reviving this thing! Hopefully we get a touring car and NBR weekend video!

[@robin_marriott]

It’s not clear from the thumbnail but if you intend to take this to the Nurburgring, there’s a garage in Adenau which has one gathering moss, front and centre outside their old showroom.

[@joshwhitehouse544]

simple touring car build would be class plus is your workshop next to jurassic park with those background noises?

[@Sorted7]

I’m sayin no to touring car rep. But I am sayin the stance of the touring car with some O.Z. Touring car style wheels and just clean as hell. Now that’s a win

[@Mrtom248]

Great video and a cool car. Looking forward to the next vid on it.

[@aslandama]

Well done with the paintwork. I just had a similar fuel issue with one of my cars and although the fuel pump does prime some days and not others I'm more or less sure that it is a faulty pump even though I put a new one in about 18 months ago. I can hear the pump relay pick and drop for a second or so each time I try even if the pump doesn't prime. Anyway, great old Mazda.

[@filipwennergren2712]

Love to see this as a touring car 👍🏽🇸🇪

[@coreydoody1806]

Looks good, sounds great. It has such great potential!

[@BillyCross-d5v]

It’s a nice looking car it looks like a older Toyota Camry great video by the way 👍👍👍

[@KirksAudioSanctum]

8:00 They are not worth a lot at the moment... These will go up in value. They are fast becoming a modern classic.

[@mattcurtis6481]

I’d use it as my daily 👍👍👍

[@jamiejohnston7183]

Black banded steels,bagged and job did ,I love these cars

[@MikeVines-vu2uv]

Think you will need a new back box at least. When you were revving it in the unit, looked like there was a small amount of exhaust smoke from under the rear end

[@adrianflower3230]

Lovely V6 Burble! Result 👍👍🤘🤘

[@leerandle4240]

I think you should keep it turn it in to a gresswell garage car put it on air/alloys all the fun bits and use it for a daily and it can be a car to show off your work you can do to cars

[@besenzon1]

Great little project Josh. I guess you bought it cheap. Probably better to get an MOT and sell it on 👍

[@malcolmszn7490]

What’s going on with that static golf sitting in the corner 👀

[@gavjlewis]

Is there a small dint on the bonnet passenger side near the wing?

[@charliecoco2115]

Pretty sure the fuel pump is the same as a Mazda 6 or 626.

[@toreberger646]

🍀Nice interesting car Good Luck🍀

[@alistairneish5033]

FOTU next year.

[@gakami666]

i woiuld pick it over a brand new car

[@stavroschristofis9041]

Touring Car 👍

[@G40daily]

Just slam it and get a decent set of wheels mate.

[@alexjones8296]

Personally I love the rarity of it. The Touring Car rep’ is defo the way to go, as sadly it’s probably worth peanuts the way it is now. Seeing the magic you’ve worked with other stuff, I have no doubt this will look amazing, if you choose to go for it, Josh.

[@daccy86]

Think you are now the king of the shitbox not auto Alex 😂

[@ClaudeSac]

I always loved the Xedos. Only reason I never bought one is that I liked other cars more. But seeing it on this channel pleases me much. Mucho much. Really looking forward to see what this will end up like! Have fun with it.

[@h12st_d63]

Custom coils, white alloys and a full btcc rep wrap... Oh and a straight pipe 🤣🤣🤣

[@paultaylor9652]

It's a mixture of a Mazda 6 and a Toyota Camry in looks. If it had been an auto I'd have been tempted, keep up with the great videos.

[@AUCHTERMUCHTYZZ]

I had one super car, pronounced Zeedos not Xeedos! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@stewartmowatt2337]

Nice car i would buy it off you if you are selling it

[@leonardgoldberg2879]

A Xedos needs too be sold to an enthusiast.

[@thomasyoung4804]

Lovely car

[@hasretgumus]

this car wants to run.. I can definitely tell it deserves a second chance and is a very decent looking reliable car!

[@154RW]

That would look so good lowered!!! just saying!!!!! just saying!!!!!!

[@J.F.K.O]

In my early teens way to many years ago i heard a mx3 with the 1.8 v6 engine getting an absolute beating. than thing sounded mean as F, the sound is still fresh in my memory. I don't like the actual mx3 but the sound of a small high revving 6 cylinder oh yeah

[@jimmyzulu432]

Touring car project, lowered and rapped, motor tweaked, sounds like a plan. Bloody ugly car though:)

[@cartelautomotivo]

All the thumbs up for the paint thinner / overspray removal. OCD placated. 😅

[@kirkynut3157]

Touring Car and Ultrace are my vote! Looking forward to seeing more of it on your channel in the future! How's about air-ride to get it proper low but drivable too?

[@CarswithMidzMaliza]

Never heard of a 2 litre V6 but anything is possible in the automotive industry 😊. Yeah go ahead with the touring car plan

[@MrMaxidc]

Top man saving her. Unique leather smell and a thirst for petrol. Worth every penny as in smiles per miles....

[@00kirbyd]

Leave standard please! Too rare to mess with. There is a market for this kind of car these days - they just aren't commenting yet.

[@mattus1gig]

It’s not worth flipping for the few quid it’s worth. Got to turn it into something mental, slammed touring car 👍

[@gth]

It kinda looks like an old Jaguar XK...or is that just me 😆

[@meatthepete1506]

That’s not fence paint 😂 it’s metallic flake 😂😂

[@TaylorMade4321]

Not sure this Mazda is worth the time and investment as you say Josh but loving the content as usual

[@haskan419]

I was worried for a hot second when you got the paint thinner out. That came out lovely

[@ryandennehy2400]

Nice little turn around. Looking forward to what you do with it next!

[@uneven_pho]

Would love to see this as a BTCC rep however would also love to see it outside my house too 😅

[@darrenj8127]

A touring car build would be an awesome watch

[@paulmoore6345]

See what interest you get then decide what to do

[@Benn3320]

excited to see the outcome with this. defo build this!

[@debbyhendrickx9318]

just slam it and wheels, little vip build

[@TROJANP]

Heyyyyyy you got it running 👏👏👏

[@adriansmith8555]

Nice set of wheels and lowered

[@JR90.]

BTCC replica all the way!

[@tdoteva4973]

Boost it

[@thenamestevewastaken]

Touring car fitment! Also looks like the leading edge of the bonnet above the grille is dented? Maybe bonnet is bent too as shut line to the drivers wing is off

[@Financmajster]

If you put a livery on it please do it with wrap to not ruin the paint, it looks great

[@olihac123]

Nice work Josh. Build for sure
