Wow it's been a while since I've updated this.
Were do I begin. The truck actually has a full exhaust. I say full as in 0 exhaust leaks, since I have owned it. It has never had that option lol. Took it to my local guy and he hooked me up. Keeping my downpipe up and far away from my frame rails.
Started cleaning odds and ends up. Got the truck up and running, but the chain tensioner was missing a bolt so it kep jumping timing. Ended up getting that fixed and it still ran like hell. Played with it and played with it, it would miss fire bad and cut out. So after almost 2 months of playing with it, it FINALLY cools off. I remind you its been 95 degrees and above on heat index. So the first cool day we had it FIRES right up. I drive it around everywere. Talk to my uncle sure enough he knows what its been doing VAPOR LOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me I never even thought of it. So its been cool here the last couple days and I been driving the hell out of it. What a expierence to finalllllllllllllllllllllllllllly enjoy this thing again!!!!! It's been 4 years.
Anyways I am here to address some much needed pics and questions I been getting. A long with a couple other pictures.

The front end locked out, due to ball joints. Could probably get another inch if it wasn't for that.
Torsion kit, just like any other mazda.
Lower ball joints flipped on top, for another 2" of clearance.
Now for the problem with the bags and clearance lol. Nothing major. I just need to notch this baby little part of the balljoint. This problem is only when its laid out, if I barely lift it, it clears. You can see the baby rub mark on the bag from it.
Exhaust
My $200 driveshaft lol
For any of you pre 84 mazda/courier owners. This what you look forward to on fresh control arms with the ass jacked and the front buried.
Firewall tubs, going to smooth them out and paint/spray bomb herculiner or something with them this winter.
The 20s clear just fine with the inner lips cut.

Lots of new parts on this damn motor lol.
The airlift bags eventually began to compress and be broken in more. So this leading to my tire touching my brake booster
Laid down all the fat mat on the floor
Put a couple pieces of the interior back in.

Was able to get the truck to 3 shows this year. Non of it driving, because we finally figured out what was wrong with it. But I don't care, feels damn good to finally go to shows and enjoy them with your own truck.

No in all of those pics its zip tied to the frame. In the pictures with the bed on, it's actually sitting behind were it needs to go. In the factory spot is pretty neat. It will sit perfect were the roll pan can cover it unless you bend down to see it. But riding around you can still visibly see it. I will get more pictures of it later with the bed on.
