Well i just found out my brother is giving me my old mazda b2200 back.. It needs an engine but after i get it running im takin my Gt and workin on it.
I want to tear it down and take out the useless shit. Put in lighter seats, aluminum driveshaft, rewire, prime, ext.
Is there anyway someone could suggest somethings or some detailed instructions of what i should do first. Any help would be greatly appriciated

It need lots of body work.. Shitty paintjob on it now... I want to take the engine out and start a build on it.. It needs some wireing im sure.... I want to do some major work on the suspension... Things like that... I know the basics and i really want to get into the advanced stuff... Just about everyone on here knows more than i do and there is a select few that take the time to help me learn... Im really turning to you guys to help me with this..

one word of advice i'll give you is to not change your driveshaft unless you have vibration problems currently. you would see no performance gain just by going aluminum. save that money and invest it in the other parts.

determine if the amount of money invested will be worth it of if you would be happier with another vehicle once you have the cash saved~ and then do what ever you like.

do you really wanna replace the 1/4 panel? how much bodywork experience do you have?
Cause honestly i HATE doing 1/4 panels seriously its time consuming esp when your drilling out all those spot welds man just thinking about brings me to some nightmares ive had like Vdubs and Caddys
Compressor your gonna want something good. Something in the 6-7 hp range. fuck i had a specs sheet somewhere that recomend s what tools for what range and shit. Let me see if i can go find it....
