Here are a couple small updates from the last week or so....Im slacking yet again
Block, heads, everything is painted...Here is the block for color reference.
Decided to put everything on the ground to see what it looked like.... at least i found out my measurements and cuts were right..lol... Still gotta roll the pinch though.
Welded up and redrilled my upper arms this past weekend for yota ball joints.... Im going to start working on getting the rearend and stuff setup... Hopefully will have my suspension stuff done here in a couple weeks...As long as time permits anyways.

First off....Sorry...I am horrible about getting on here and making updates...Plus there were a few months i was unable to even get on here for some reason...idk?? Anyways... Here are some random pics i finally took off my phone from the past couple months or so..... Progress is slow as usual...Im staying busy with so many other things that i havnt been able to spend a whole lot of time on this.
Current status.... Wrapping up front and rear suspension... In the front i had to go back into it because my max lift wouldnt even clear fenders...So im back in right now notching out the frame for re7s and changing the mounts on my lower arms a bit. The rear is basically done i believe...Still have to gusset a bunch of areas (front crossmember, lower bars, upper bag plates, etc....
Still have to do a bunch of frame clean up, welding up more holes, smoothing more...so on.
Anyways, here are a few pics with the 5 lug swap on the arms, 4 link stuff, gas tank cradle, my wheel situation in the rear (gotta get spacers, i only have like an 1/8" room between wheel and frame)
Next thing in line will be brakes and motor i do believe... Swaps are coming for front, rear, and motor.... So hopefully it will all go as smooth as possible.
I will try to update this thing more often so its not such a book in one post.
Please feel free to leave comments/suggestions.... This is again my first go around with a bd or mazdas in general...So im always open for tips or ideas.
