Hey people!
Just came across this place in my quest to renew my Mazda!! Ive got an 88 Mazda B2200 Longbed Pickup, and she has been neglected heavily..
It sat for TWO winters exposed to the elements uncovered.. Needless to say the inside was in bad shape from all the moisture.. I started workin on it halfway thru this summer & did my best to clean it out... After cleanin in out and having the summer weather dry things out it looks like its in alot better shape.. I had to replace all the hoses under the hood and the radiator.. Most of the stuff under the hood is new now except the engine and tranny...
Anyway, She still needs alot of work on the body, and the seat is in horrible shape.. There is a huge hole in the drivers side where you put your keister.. I need to replace the seat, but im not really sure where the best deals are?? Ive been to a couple salvage yards and what they did have was in worse condition then the one already in there! lol
Any ideas?? Ive already dumped a couple grand in her just to get to this point so im gettin pretty tapped.. but once I get a seat and a new windshield, and maybe a fresh paint job on her im set!
Ill try to get some pics of her for ya to see what Im talkin about...
Oh, and the rims... They are chrome rims that are rusted to sh*t.. Any strong polish or solvent out there someone might recommend to get those puppies shining again? At this point I just have some chrome polish im plannin on applying over and over hopefully slowly eliminating the rust.. Is it even possible or am I better off replacing the rims?
Thanks, and im glad I found this place! Alot of my family are mazda B series owners! hehe
OK, here are some images I dug up that were takin maybe 2 or so years before it ended up in crummy condition.. Its just a normal truck tho.. Nothing like you guys have.. heheh But still..
This image is one of the last when it was in good condition.. But it gives an idea of the old girl before its dark years... Ill update with current pics in a day or two...
Heres one that will show the front side.. sorta... These were obviously pics of other stuff.. I dont have any intentional ones on the pc..
And lastly, a dirty camping trip.. But it shows the rear and a little of the interier..
