1988 Mazda B2200. Not really a project. Just something I'm gonna clean up, dump a few inches, throw some Escalades on, and call a day.

I picked it up for a decent price, little more than I wanted to spend, but it has a completely rebuilt motor with new brakes, radiator and some other stuff.

Looking forward to just cruising it come Spring...







When I'm in a Mid-Size 90% of the time its just nice to have a REAL mini truck again..

Nice. I like that color. I really want to find me one and leave stock for a daily driver. What did you give for it?

Love that color and wheels.

Nice looks like a pretty clean truck to start with. But one thing does that have dual exhausts on it? Please tell me your going to get rid of those.

No shit. Mine has fake duals, and I cant wait to get rid of them.

Yeah, I like the slate-gray color too.. I plan on taking off all of the old ass factory pinstripes and trim on there and dropping it off at Maaco for a $300 re-spray lol. The wheels are getting replaced with Escalades, but the factory chromes will be winter wheels.

The hideous dual exhaust is going to be cut after the muffler and just dump out. I want it to be as quiet and stealth as possible.

Also plan on slamming it out (possibly like a total of 5/6) when Spring hits and EVENTUALLY cutting the roof off.

I don't care what anyone says, Convertible Minis are dope! Nope,its not practical, its not for a daily, but I really don't give a damn... It'll look pimp!

LOL... cranking torsions down, and throwing some blocks in the back doesn't make for a project, just a few hours of time. Cutting the roof off will be about the same just trade the wrenches in, weld a brace in the rear and have a little fun with a Sawzall... (obviously more complicated than all that, but you get my drift).

Ratical hardtop kit from AIM is $400 (and yes I realize AIM is usually shit and the top probably is too, but its something to do).
