Ponts rebuild

Update (better late than never)

Well I got the motor back in and about to wrap this thing up. Soon as I get some money for parts (dont you just love waiting on money) anyway here are some pics.

miata tranny swap



tranny painted



Header sand blasted and painted





tranny and motor bolted up



engine in truck

looks good man are oyu gunna bag it ??

One day I will paint is next

Any plans for bagging it in the future. I love the paint work.

if you're going to bag it u should wait to paint it till its bagged. it'd really suck if you shot sparks and weld berries all over your new paint. not to mention have to trim fender lips or possibly flare the fenders after they're painted...

lets put it this way, few things are worse than fab'n around a freshly painted car. talk about walking on eggshells.....

Im doing mine more for ride then to slam it so 1 it wont be extreme and 2 it will not ever lay frame. Since I will keep this truck for the rest of its life (or mine) I can justify saying these things.

that two tone looks good! do it up!

i said the same about my first b (i'm keeping it forever and ever!)... but nowadays i think i would part it and scrap it if i found a good bagged truck for a good price. well we'll see... everything is just parts that can be taken off one truck and swapped on another with not too much work... until you get into frame work... lol

i have a 4x4 b now, so i could have the best of both worlds if i got a bagged truck...lol

end note: plans change as life spins around you. just go with the flow, and try not to think too far ahead.

This is really my 3rd and after selling my first I know this one will not go. even if I get my Grandpas 86 extend cab I will keep both.

update time sorry I let if fall behind lol anyway
all pics are clickable
all the wiring will get wire loom on it to make it look a little better.


I got some parts powder coated




Got some stage 8 locking header nuts for my header

here it is all most 100% done still need to do adjustments and things but it runs and drives.



After all that I pulled the carpet and used Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint to make it look a little better.
