Project: Mazdizzle 88 b2200 build turbo FE3

ah edc are the best.

That hydraulic hose I had made for it was a HUGE pain to work with. Should have just hard lined it to the back. Hope to get the wife to help me bleed the brakes tonight and get it back on the ground. May have video of the air ride in action tonight!

Found a few leaks in the air system and got them fixed. Ran wires for tail lights and finished up the wiring in the cab for the switch box and stereo. Got the wife to help me bleed the brakes so if it's not raining out tomorrow it's coming out of the garage for a little bit.

Took the truck for a ride around the block Sunday evening and this is my first bagged vehicle and I was like a little kid on Christmas. That edc fills the 12 gallon tank in I'd say just over a minute from 0-150psi. The front isn't laying out all the way so I'll have to look into that. With the tire off I can jack up the lower control arm until the steering linkage and radius arm hit but when it's on the ground something is binding and it's about 1/2 inch from laying frame in the front.

The plan is to trailer it to my work and paint it next weekend. I should have the primer all blocked down tomorrow night then I have a few spots to re prime and it will be good to go. Bought tweed for the interior and I'm having a shop up the road from my work sew me a headliner out of tweed and recover my rear seats to match the ford probe gt seats I have in the front.

Here's a pic from sunday before I put the fenders back on and the gauge panel I made it's abs plastic with a carbon fiber overlay

Trailered the truck to the shop last night to finish getting it ready to paint. Blocked all the primer with 400 at home just need to go over it with some 600 and it will be ready to mask up and shoot.

Looking good man, I can't wait to see it in color!

Standox rep is getting me the hook up on some paint tomorrow so I should be painting it Friday night or Saturday morning. I'll take some non iPhone pics after its painted. I have a nice digital slr it's just a pain to upload

Got my headliner and rear seats back from the interior shop yesterday and they look very good! Started covering the rest of the interior parts with the gray tweed. I'm using a DAP contact adhesive for landau tops sprayed out of an old siphon feed gun. Got the top of the rear seat, door sill plates and a few other pieces done last night. Going to do the rear sides and start on the door panels tonight.

Truck is in the booth ready to paint! Have 2 coats on base on it probably 2 more to go then spray 3 coats of the pearl then clear. Going to be a late night here

Great progress man. Here is hoping things go smoothly for you, keep us posted. Work has kept me off my project love reading about yours.
