Hello everyone, I want to start by giving my gratitude to Mazda Mitch and the team for all the information and guides they've released already. Everything that you guys have provided gave me the confidence to make my purchase.
At the beginning of this week my wife and I walked past this 89 B2200 for sale that was in pretty bad shape, My grandfather-in-law owns a 92 B2200 that's in great shape so we know what a sweet ride these little trucks can be. I am now the proud owner of my first project vehicle. My mechanical knowledge is slim to none but there is enough information nowadays that I can hopefully find the resources I need.
A little about the truck. It did not run. I do not know how long it has been sitting. The owner that I bought from only had it for 2 months in the same condition. He bought it as a project truck for his son and him to work on but his son didn't want it. We pushed it to my garage, and I've been working on it the past week. Tonight, I got it to Idle, and it seems to in pretty rough shape as I expected. I've done the basics such as all new fluids, filters, spark plugs, drained and replace the fuel. The oil pan had a probably a half gallon of water/coolant. Now that its idling, its burning coolant and I have a ton of questions. For new questions would it be best to create a new discussion or can I keep it all contained in this thread?
Anyways here she is. Thanks to everyone who reads. I'm excited to share my progress w/ everyone.
