    I'd love a mini truck as a beater but I know if I bought one I'd throw more money at it then my projects...

    I like it alot, I'd love to see an rotory swapped into it, but the 1jz or 5.0 would probably be more reliable.

    Thanks guys, @Stark, the motor right now having the stock 2.2L has the famous lifter problem. What i was thinking was swapping down to the 2.0L which has solid lifters instead of hydraulic. Then just doing cams, arp head studs and slapping on a turbo.

    Front is just re-indexed. Ball joints are still unmolested and the bumpstop brackets are still there. Amazing how simple torsion bar suspension is. I love it but **** it at the same time.

    Like it so far, and I miss my old bagged b2200 with a 5.0 swap that was never completed.

    I agree. Red hubs gotta go. But other than that, nice!

    I would love to see you do an obnoxious rotary in this thing. I'm not one of those purists that think it's gotta have a Mazda or Ford engine just 'cause it's a Mazda, but rotaries are cool.

    And anyone who digs the Shanghai Garden is a friend of mine!

    I am thinking about respraying the hubs back to black just because the red is getting old. And the grille will either be replaced with a full billet black grill or something else i can think of. And yeah love the Shanghai Garden / international district area, makes me feel like i'm in a different world for a little while.

    Well, I need to C notch the frame for a little more clearance, need a little more front work done suspension wise just to make the ride a little smoother. But Im doing all new interior, racing style buckets (not sure what I want, brides, recaro, ect.) I'm also trying to save for a swap, Not exactly sure what i want, a lot of 5.0's are put into these type of trucks. But I really want to do a 1jz swap. I basically want to take the static stance scene from cars and put it into a truck with some power.
