Turbo Rotary Mazda Minitruck Build
- Thread starter mymmeryloss
- Start date
So the weather has delayed the shipping of my new truck. f**k you winter! We are not friends...
Loving that Cali Winter but rainy seasons aren't that bad...snow idk
Oh f**k here we go again... :rolleyes:..................
Truck pics now! 
Which one?Truck pics now!
On the trailer in front of my house.
Unloaded
Wide ass 20" rims
On the ground
Clear corners and clear tails installed
It smokes on startup and has a mean tick but runs really well. Also has a small oil leak. Gotta get those few small issues figured out and get it cleaned up and a few small changes to make it mine and ill be happy with it for a daily driver!

i see a truck that took money away from the other build, i hate this truck!
You wish! And its not much snow at all in town for how much its been snowing .Lookin good!
All that snow in the ground.. School must be out
Not at all. I dont need to be buying stuff right now i just need to get in the garage and get busy which i cant seem to do. So no big deal
I had the previous owner weld braces with the truck being fully lifted so it wouldnt blow a bag or leak down on the trailer. So i had to cut those out when it got to my house.
I still need to put the shocks back in it lol. Rides a little lofty in the rear.
So today i put rear shocks on the new mazda and unfortunately i cut a f**king brake line so its parked until i get back from north dakota.
So after i threw a little baby fit and calmed down i started working on the custom mods to my bed for the doored mazda.
I dont know if any of you remember what i was doing so ill fill everyone in again.
So i took a rear bumper off of a 1997 toyota 4runner and am going to be using that instead of a factory mazda bumper so that its tucked in and flush.
This required a bit of custom fabrication. Imagine that right? Lol
So i had to cut off the sheetmetal at the bodyline on the bed and the whole rear section of the bed.
Then mock up of the bumper showed i needed to stretch each side something like 7". So i sectioned 2 pieces to make one.
I did that on each side.
Then to fill the gap between the mazda tailgate and the 4runner bumper i cut the bottom section off of the liftgate and welded it to the mazda gate.
Now i just have to decide if i want to hard mount the bumper or have it removable...
But im happy with the progress for today
