Another Mazda in the fleet (some assembly required)

I have a problem... I impulse-buy orphaned Japanese cars in need of serious TLC. Our current example is a 1982 GSL, but she came with:
  • A (supposedly) fully rebuilt Ford 5.0 out of a 1998 Mountaineer
  • A Comp cam installed (but they didn't upgrade the rockers... that's on the to-do list)
  • Granny's engine/trans swap mounts
  • T-5 trans, flywheel, and an unknown clutch disc that certainly isn't going in
  • Billet shifter
  • 2 harnesses and ECUs
  • 2 intake manifolds (one I think is for a 351w and won't fit)
  • Brand new Wilwood master/slave & stainless braided line
The stock 12A and trans were already gone when I bought her, but for a whopping $1000 delivered, I figured why not. Unfortunately work will be in the way of much more important things for quite some time; still, she'll be a good "someday" project. In the meantime, another $80 acquired front GSL-SE spindles, Illuminas, springs (I think also Tokico), and caliper brackets along with a set of wheels. Bonus points if someone can identify them at the bottom: similar to SSR mesh, Japanese, 15x6 (so I can actually find non-13" tires), 4x114.3, probably made in 1983, and I believe 25mm offset. "GET" appears to be the brand, but my Google-fu isn't good enough to find anything.

Cheers!
