1989 Mazda,Before,After,And Between.

a couple more pics of it after we bagged it

you will notice the back sits higher then the front, yea note to self, dont go off bag specs for collapsed length, you will miss laying frame in the back a little bit, lolz so we gotta redo the rear top mounts no biggy,

Also, started driving it around and found out the EXTREME POWER of our 55amp alternator haha, for a little while i thought i was running out of gas i kept sputtering to a stop,and wouldnt crank back up, went and got a mustang cobra alternator and put it in, still....didnt work somethings not right, not sure maybe i need to run another battery and trink charge it every other day. not sure but it was enough to piss me off and a week after putting it back together start the bodydrop

started the bodydrop on it, going to go 2 1/4 with pinch rolled,started stripping it back down....

horrible phone pic, but we cut out complete floorboard,why? i dont know just seemed like the best thing to do at the time, lolz i didnt want a curb in my truck, and i wanted it a little more sturdy so....

we made our cuts and starting cutting the whole front clip off to make work a little easier

front core mounts where remade rewelded and dropped to make up for the drop, along with the radiator tubing for a more flush hose mount,kinda a rough draft pic had to reshape regrind alot of it, but here ya go

meanwhile we started refitting the front and cleaning stuff up

as well as fixxing that rear bag bracket problem

jumping through abunch of stuff i know, also if you have any comments im open to all comments good or bad, its not my first mini, so if you dnt like something or think i should fix something let me know, its to easy to fix, and im in early early 20s so any advice is good advice, and ill fix it!....ANYWAYS finishing supports and laying down new floorboard got it welded it and sealed the holy hell out of it ( sorry the only pic of it done was that shitty phone pic) but then started laying down some fatmat, the center console is not done or NO WHERE near done, so those hit marks are all getting cut out and then a flush mount to factory tunnel will be kept.


started working on the back

inside got fully welded, due to double layered metal and outside got all tacced

finished the back someone, well the metal work at least, and started laying the evercoat down ( bodyfiller ) to make it look a little more presentable

and started smothing it out

starting jumping on the ends and outs, regrinding, filling here and there,in pic above you can kinda see the new bracket, molding 1/4" is a bitch btw lol but anyways started shaving the doors while i waited on the 32/36 weber to come in the mail with new grille,and toyo bumper/valance.

got the webber in and installed it, dont know if im just dumb or what but i installed the weber and the flaps dont open when i pull throttle cable...do i just adjust flats to stay a little open and when it warms up it will? i dont know....
