The Meximobile

All of my friends nicknamed my truck as soon as I got it and it stuck. My cheap minitruck turned out not to be so cheap.

List of known problems:
ZERO rear brake hardware
no rear brake lines
all of the aftermarket wiring in the truck is complete garbage
the dash probably has 4 bolts holding it on total
heater controls aren't hooked up at all except for the fan speed control
air compressor was used as EDC and locked up
engine compartment was NASTY with oil and everything
fuel cell was in the front of the bed taking up a ton of room
rear bags are between the rear axle and the bridge
4 valve setup with no check valves between the sides
no shocks
no front/rear wheel tubs

So I started putting in the wheel tubs



Then I decided that the way the fuel lines were run and being pinched between the bed floor and the top links was bad so I decided to move the fuel cell.




The day I did this, my M3 decided it wanted to rip out its rear shock tower so the truck was my sole mode of transport. I had to drive it bed off. Woohoo

A week later, I re-cut the bed and reinforced it around where the fuel cell went so it wouldn't get floppy. I was rushed that night to get somewhere so I didn't take any pictures.

On the way to where I was going, I hear a tick start developing so I pull over on the side of the interstate and shut her down. Hooray, oil EVERYWHERE. I let her cool down and start her up for a second to make sure she didn't lock up and she was okay. Had her towed back home, topped off the oil and started her up. Great, a rod knock.

Now the motor's completely disassembled in the garage with the block on an engine stand.

Spun bearing on #3. Crank has to be ground. I broke the crank pulley trying to pull the timing sprocket and my buddy decided it'd be a good idea to try to pull directly on the timing sprocket so it's got a part broken too. Hooray

Anybody know where I could get those parts easily? The crank pulley wouldn't be too hard to get at in a junkyard, but I couldn't figure out a good way to get the sprocket off.

are you talking about the big pulley on the front of the crank?if you are i can pull the one off my parts truck for ya!just shoot me an offer!

I need that pulley and the timing sprocket. Would you want to sell both?

who did the work originally??

Godfather Customs built the thing a LONG time ago. I know for sure they did the notch, bridge, 4-link, driveshaft loop, and the front bag setup. Other than that, no clue. It's pretty hacked together. I'm gonna straighten it all out.

yeah i will sell both just send me pics of what you need so i know exactly what you need and also so were on the same page as to what we're talkin about!!

Here's some pics my friend took of the truck shortly after I bought it.





Here's a artsy shot that shows where M3 mirrors really belong.

holy fuck is that ever beatiful. hands down cleanest mazda i've seen....ever.

Nah, it's a POS. It's got a 30 foot paint job and there's so much on it that's halfassed it's not even funny.

want to sell it?
