Project: Mazdizzle 88 b2200 build turbo FE3

looks good man! did you use a shultz gun to spray it?

Yes I did it came with the kit. Sprayed 18-24 inches away at around 70 psi.

Spent another 4 hours last night trying to save the drivers door but finally gave up. It was beat from top to bottom. There was a very clean LX b2600 at the salvage yard last weekend so I went out there after work and bought both doors off of it. $100 for the pair complete with chrome handles, mirrors, lx door panels and glass. Pass side has a small rust spot inside on the bottom but that's it (the old doors were rusted all the way across). I'll have pics later

The bed looks sweet! I like it closed in like that.....it can still be used as a bed! Lookin' good man!

Great work!! Keep those pictures coming!!

It's just some trailer fenders and a 4x8 of 16 ga steel. Probably won't ever haul anything in it but I thought it would look nice. No bed cover on this truck put too much time in making the inside of the bed look nice. The air tank is going in the front of the bed and it's getting painted to match the truck.

Got those new doors torn down tonight and have 4 small dents to fix on each one and a little bit of rust on the bottom of the passenger side door. Should have them ready to prime and edge in this weekend.

Got my new doors and tail gate primed last night and just got done painting the back sides. Going to re-assemble them tomorrow and hang them back on the truck. Also tore down the sanden 708 to do the grease conversion. Worst part was having to pull the header off the motor to get the top bolt out to get it off the truck. Going to talk to my buddies at carquest about making me a hose to run to the tank in the bed. I'm sure that will be $$$. Once I get the air lines all ran it's coming down off the stands finally. Oh yea and I have only 2 pics this time but it's better than nothing

some basecoat on the doors

Got the doors built, back on the truck and got the sanden all greased up and back on the truck. Had Napa make me a hose to go from the compressor to the tank so I'm going to start running air lines and hooking things up tomorrow.

nice progress.

Had a very good week for the mazda. Got the front shock brackets all welded in, made brackets for the valves and got them mounted up, greased the ecd and got it hooked up (hopefully it works) and just got done running air line and wiring to hook everything up. I'm very anal about wiring so it had to all br nice and neat. I filled the tank to 80 psi with my garage compressor since the truck is still out of gas and tested all the solenoids to make sure it all worked. Truck is still up on stands and those suckers are loud when they dump. The floor under my truck is nice and clean now Tomorrow bleed the brakes, throw the wheels, put a seat back in it and maybe take it out side if it isn't raining. Here's a bunch of pics enjoy

Tank will be painted to match he truck and may move the pressure switch under the truck that thing is ugly
