Hello MazdaBScene,

I'm fairly new to the site and have just purchased my first mini. I purchased her for 2 bills from a co-worker who was going to scrap it since he bought a brand new truck so I offered him what I thought he would get from the scrap yard and he took it. I couldn't believe it...I've always wanted to do a mini truck. First off I call her Maggie shes a 93 single cab B2200 with 113k original miles. Runs great after a set of new tires, new alt. new brakes, replaced radiator with an aluminum one, and had to replace the exhaust all OEM except a Hi-Flow Magnaflow cat. Other than that shes all stock and now I can't wait to tare into her and change all of that!

A few pictures of the exterior...she needs a little body work luckily that's what I do for a living but with some student loan debt my build may take a little longer. For now I can't stand wheel gap so I plan on a static drop, new shocks, new shoes, get the body work and give her a clean shave, and a face lift, then a paint job.

Another one of the exterior...




The interior is pretty clean after I spent a few hours cleaning it lol and threw in a Pioneer CD player I had laying around...now I need a system

And a crappy shot of the engine bay...the reflection of the sun off of the radiator screwed up the pic that and the shadow sorry guys.




For the engine I haven't really decided either a full swap or since it's got fairly low miles I may just boost this one for a little extra power and run her till she blows haha. I've got big plans for her and after seeing a lot of members builds on here the possibilities are endless and I can't wait to get started! Honestly can't wait until it's BD'ed and bagged. Thanks for looking guys! I'll keep ya updated.

If you ever need help let me know. I am just a couple hours away.

You are right about that bro, that will be one of the first things I ditch. I haven't owned a automatic anything since my first car 13 years ago

Hell yea man thanks a lot! I know i will need it when it comes to bagging it and BDing it. I believe I have asked you questions about boosting the stock 2.0 motor too if i do decide to do that i could use your help on that haha. I have boosted a lot of my cars all of which were civic's though so it would help me out knowing some guys on here and close by that know the Mazda's.

I haven't gotten my turbo in yet, body dropped a truck, or installed bags. but I will certainly help in any way I can. I have been a mechanic since high school. And have had my B just as long.

Sweet sounds good to me bro. Yeah I haven't BD'd anything or bagged anything yet I've watched and helped a friend of mine do it to his S-10 I'm sure it's something we could figure out together. I have been reading and researching it a lot on here in member builds and on other sites. But it will be awhile before I have everything I need for that. Maybe once we each have all of our turbo shit we can do it together haha. Right now I'm focusing on getting my blocks and shocks to do a static drop and get the body work done and get her sprayed. I will defenetly hit you up for any questions I have tho man. My names Chance btw lol.

He owns a fabrication shop in Columbus, NE where pretty much all they do is bag and BD everything so if we have any questions with that we can always hit him up for a little help I'm sure he would be happy to come down to my place and help he loves that shit!
