91 B2200 fully built Miata 1.6 swap

Got my other door panel done and on. Starting to paint all the plastics black, and under coated my floor.

Dyed my visors, removed panels and painted inside part of the doors satin black, cleaned sanded painted and installed door sills, cleaned sanded and painted a pillars. Put it all back together. The black looks so much better than than the red with the panels.

I will get some more pics and updates over the weekend. Got center caps on the GM wheels, shaved doors, wiring poppers, changing beds and shaving it, changing and shaving fenders, changing and molding in cowl on the hood, installed rear seats, got a headliner and dyed it, doing a few more things as well. Have a show in 2 weeks trying to be ready for.

Got my headliner dyed/painted and installed. I used a product from a company called PlastiCoat. It is designed for vinyl and such. It is light weight and did not change the feel of the material. On the cardboard I had it stretched out on it was like I poured liquid dye on it in the over spray spots. Was not like paint at all. Also did the visors with the same stuff. It says it will not rub off either.




Installed the shaved doors and hooked up the poppers. Used the AutoLoc shaved door kit.









Swapped out back and side glass. Mine was pitted from PO welding and grinding around it and throwing sparks all over it.





Put the Mazda centers on my GM steelies.





Shaved my new to me pass fender emblem and fixed a dent in top of it. Got to prime now.

Swapping to a stock bed tomorrow and moving my lights to stock position. Reshaving the bed. Going to block the fender and doors. Need to find another driver fender.

Been a bit since I updated but I have changed beds, shaved gas door, moved tail lights but still waiting on fillers, started body work and got it in a coat of primer. Added a few things to see how it will look and like it. Swapped to black trim. Plastidip the front bumper.





I started EMT school and between work and school I may not have a whole lot of time to do much to it for the next little bit. I also have to get some stuff to the girlfriends B2200 so she can take it to the next show with me in Oct.

Well I started a Isuzu/Honda D44 rear axle swap today. Will have it finished up tomorrow hopefully if not then it will be on Wed. Had to mod the drive shaft, e brake cables, open up my wheels for the larger hub and a couple other things. Will post picks and more info.

Haven't uploaded pics to photo bucket yet but I have swapped to a Rodeo/Passport Dana 44 with 4:10 gears and disc brakes. I changed wheels to some deep dish 15" start shaped steelies. I flared the bed side 2.5" to make up for the wheels and the little bit wider Dana 44. I had to remove the blocks temp till I finish all the bed side widening.

how come you swapped to wider rearend? you can go to a toyota rear axle if you wanted 4.10's, thats the common gear ratio in 4x4's. they are about 1-2" narrower, nicer for those wide wheels.

I grabbed the wrong width one. It was supposed to be 58" by specs and I didn't measure it cause I didn't have a tape with me. Ended up being a 60" version. Didn't want a Yota axle cause I wanted to stay 6 lug and rear disc. I can easily swap to a 4.30 LSD setup so I figure that's what i will do when I narrow it a little.
