The rust makes it trendy. (1984 mazda b2000)

[Nick475]

welp. my wagon has been sold after the headgasket blew and i didnt feel like fixing it as it had a few other obnoxious problems. so i picked up this 1984 b2000 from a buddy for 450 bucks, and got a spare motor with it

bought it as a daily. but ill definitely be doing some silly things with it. so stay tuned my friends!

here it is!


worst of the rust:


was cleaning out the inside when.... xbox and tv remote out of no where..


he used to take it offroad a lot so it was totally coated in mud... everywhere

doesnt look like much, but it was really caked on there.

anywho.
le first fill up


and i decided to clean most of the bay out this afternoon
before:

after:


so thats all for now. hopefully ill have it lowered and on some nice wide wheels in the next month or so

Cleaning up nicely, now get it to sit low!

[Chuckdee]

Good luck OP, seems like a challenge!

[Nick475]

Thanks guys!

[Rinku-Bitch]

Wooh! Hell yeah, in for Mazda mini truck!

[Granny Gold]

Cool old Mazda! Never seen one of those before.

[Nick475]

Thanks rinku. And granny gold, it's actually pretty much the same thing as the ford courier

[244Brick]

Use that angle grinder on that cab .. Dat.rust!!! Sexy platform tho

[Isuzupickup]

I'm in for some silly things. I don't think I've seen one of these Mazdas before. Less ground clearance and a dope set of wheels is all you really need. I'd rock the OG paint. Is it torsion bars out front?

[Nick475]

Nah. Springs up front. They switched to torsion bars in the next generation. So I'll probably just cut springs. And i can also do drop spindles if I can find a set

[Nick475]

boo. lots of frame rust. debating whether to keep this or not now...

[lewda]

Oh damn, is that the worst of the frame rust? Sucks but it looks saveable with some elbow grease

[Oxer]

that frame is beyond saving, if its rusted through 3mm steel, then the potential for weakspots is endless. you'll have to either a. build a new frame from sctatch, or b. buy another frame in better shape. Option B is easier.

[Brimmy]

That sucks ass. Looks like a write-off

[pejsa]

done deal send it to the crusher
