New DD, Mazda B2200 *Pics Added*

So I osted in the lounge that I bout a truck, and about the problems Ive been having. I figured it would make more sense to post in here.

I got it for a deal, it only has 163xxx on it, not too bad for these trucks, Plus Cab, 5 speed, just A little beater. I might race it if someone wants to step up to the 85 HP monster but with the rotted exaust I dont think that will be happening.

It needs to be tuned in bad. It bogs bad when you get on it. Pretty sure the timing is retared, carb probibly need cleaned up, windsheild is cracked, big dent in the pass. side of the cab. tailgate is beat up and needs latch, driver door unlocks itself when you close it, crank pulley wobbles, radio is hard wired in so it says on until I turn it off, needs a battery, but its a beater.

More or less I bought it so I could drive home from school more without spending all my money on gas. Plus its a truck so I can make my money back with s and whatever. 

Ill have more pics this weekend, I forgot to take them last weekend.


Nothing pretty but here it is

Back when a mazda truck, was a mazda truck.

Looks decent. I wouldnt necessarily call it a beater, Id take care of it and fix it up. Anything decent on gas isnt a beater these days.

I put some flat black over the brown and that and the middle section of the bumper that is rusted. Doesnt look great but better than it did.



Here's the dent in the cab.



Only 162, i thought it was at 163.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
