G'day all

I'm a new member here from Down Under.

well not much to say
but I'll blab about my Truck some.

It started life as a '77 model Mazda B1800 Bought for $600

Then I modified it

Engine Mods:
Mild porting of the Cylnder Head
Performance Camshaft
Redline Intake Manifold (to suit 45mm DCOE weber) {no longer available to buy new}
Electronic Ignition, with 8.5mm S/S Suppression Plug Leads
4-in-to-1 Hi-Flow Exhaust Manifold
2.25" Hi-Flow Mandrel Bent S/Steel exhaust (No Cat .. Not required for Local Registration Laws)
DCOE 48 MM Side Draught Weber Carbutettor..

Plans include future upgrade to 4x36mm Throttle Body Fuel Injection (With Turbocharging)

Chassis Mods:
Conversion of Durm Brake front end to Floating Caliper Ventilated Disc Brakes from a '90 model 2x4 Bravo.
Custom Stiffer Front Anti-Sway Bar.
Lower front Hub Spindles.. (Obtained a 3" drop set to suit an '89 model recently, still yet to install)

Transmission:
Removal of 4-Speed Column Shift to a 5-Speed Floor shift
Heavier Clutch

Body/Interior:
Pulled the 3-Seater Bench, replaced with a pair of Comfortable and Supportive Buckets. (Required to make room for floor shifter)

Other:
Fittment of 7x16 inch rims
225/50R16 Bridgestone G-Grid Tyres

Looks like a shit heap at the moment, as it's half pulled apart for a Re-paint
and some (more) Body mods.

Thanks for having me aboard

welcome to the site, if you can get ahold of a right hand drive dash and steering box I would buy it or trade. Where I work we have the biggest selection of sheet metal products around.. Matt
