Hi everyone, I just bought a 91 b2200 Mazda standard cab short bed pickup, tell me what you think!

It's no gem, more of a beater, but for $550 I couldn't pass it up. It has some noises/issues (I'll be posting a thread in the 2.2L Repair Tech section) and some body damage (see pictures), frozen fan clutch (always on) but so far it has driven 300 miles over a pass with no major issues.
It's an automatic (transmission feels great), 164K miles, 2.2L FI, good shocks, good a/c & heat, new air filter, canopy did not come with it but it does have new tires and clean interior...I think I got a sweet deal!??

Thanks guys I'm glad you like it as much as I do! Upon further inspection, it definitely needs some work...

So far I've found it really needs the front main (crankshaft) seal (dangit!! ), probably a new crank pulley (I think it's the culprit for the squeak/squeal), and the previously mentioned fan clutch. I figure I'm in another $300-$500 on upcoming maintenance parts but I still think it was a pretty good deal.

Once I get a book on this thing and a good parts list/plan of attack, I'll post up in the repair tech section and keep everyone posted on how this thing turns out. Nice meeting all you guys!
