HI MY NAMES ROB AND IM A PICTURE WHORE........LOL what up all......i live in a disqusting little town called montgomery in the state of pennsylvania. there isnt much to do around here nor is there really anyone to talk to around here as most of the ppl in this town are nasty ass holes so to keep myself occupied and away from the nasty ppl i cut grind and weld onto my 89 b2200. i picked up this gem of a truck and i do mean gem september of 09 for 600 bucks and it only had 83,000 miles on it no rust on the body or the frame all body panels were straight and the paint was in good shape allthough it was in desperate need of a cleaning. i got it home and within 2 days the decals were removed and it was lowered 5 inches...ok enough of the boring typing and reading as i know most ppl on here are like me and would rather see pics of mazdas then read about mazdas so here ya go.......

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK THIS HAPPENED.........HIT A DEER AT 60 MPH

ABOUT 2 HOURS WORTH OF WORK A COME ALONG EYELETS FLAT STEEL AND A RUBBER MALLOT LATER I GOT THE RAD SUPPORT BACK INTO SHAPE AND SOLDERED THE RADIATOR BACK TOGETHER

AND OF COURSE A WHOLE DAY OF SEARCHING FOR PARTS AT ALL THE LOCAL JUNK YARDS FOR PARTS AND ITS WAS BACK TOGETHER

FOUND SOME CHROMIES FOR 100 BUCKS WITH TIRES FROM MY BOSS

FOUND SOME CLEAR TAILS WITH THE CHROME BUCKETS AND CHROME TRIM DOT APPROVED FOR 30 BUKCS

BLACKED OUT THE WINDOWS TO 5 PERCENT ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH A 9 INCH TINT DROP

GOT MY CHROME GRILL FOR 50 BUCKS BRAND NEW IN THE BOX WITH A 1 YEAR WARRANTY FOR FIT AND FINISH

99 ESCORT ZX2 BUCKT SEATS THEY BOLTED RIGHT IN AFTER I SWAPPED THE RAILS FROM MY FACTORY BU
SMOOTHY ROLL PAN THAT I FABRICATED WITH THE HELP OF MY STEP DADS METAL SHOP ITS GREAT WHEN YOU HAVE METAL BREAKES AND SHEERS TO USE YOU CAN GET ALL THE INTRICATE BENDS PERFECT. ALLTHOUGH THIS IS NOT INSTALLED YET CAUSE I JUST PUT THE LICENSE PLATE BUCKET THAT I MADE INTO MY TAILGATE THIS PAST WEEKEND.
