Just sittin here bored, and thought id share my ideas on what to do with the Mazdawg.
Im **Hopefully** going start working on the hay hauler after i get back to school, when im not working full time... and after i figure out if i should drive my Olds Omega (V8-10mpg) for the daily driver.. lol

Engine/Drivetrain: Im thinking of swapping a Turbo Inline 4 & 5speed out of a 88 Thunderbird, with an ECU chip so apparently it will put out 240HP, 200FT if i do it right. Plus still get about 25-30MPG!! maybe swap the rear end so it dosnt break.. Exhaust will be oped duel chrome side pipes. exiting b4 rear wheels.

Suspension: Re-moving front torsions, making small c notches(so i dont have to cut out the box) and im going to make a Front and Back Air Shock Set up instead of Air bags, with 2 small tanks and compressor where spare tire is located. Plus dump switches etc. MIGHT lay frame, but probs not...

Exterior/Paint: Shaved locks, tailgate handle, rollpan etc. keeping door handles. Yota Front bumper, ranger lights, white grill and bumper parts, 2 tone paint White, and metallic Gun Metal Grey (center panel) with cherry pin striping and airbrushed flames on Grey. Black around windows, mirrors etc excluding chrome painted G-M-Grey, white tonnue cover, with small wing chrome wheel well moldings etc etc etc.. also some other custom body work, wheel vents and stuff. NEONS?!? lol

Interior: Re-paint dash, cherry, maroon or w/e it is. leather front seats, custom dash gauges, (oil,temp,boost, amp, etc) custom center counsel with air switches. new speakers and what not. and all that kinda shit. converting to electric windows, and locks. steering wheel and shit changed too.

and wheels, im keeping the ones that are on it for now.. and i cant think of anyy more, but im sure there is ALOT that i have missed

So what are some of your opinions on this stuff?
