Where its all Started... 2020

I love building things and automobiles are no different. 

This is a detailed living document about my 1989 Mazda B-Series REPU. 

Where this story begins is when I was in college and got hooked by this beautiful blue eyed Blonde free spirited woman (we got married before this truck came around). When we were dating, this 1989 Mazda B2200 lived across the street from her parents house and I've always had a soft spot for small single cab short bed trucks. While we moved around the country, my love for Mazda and rotary engines grew. We came back to Kansas to celebrate Christmas with her family years later and I noticed that the little Mazda Truck wasn't parked on the street where it had always been. After the family activities were over, I caught the neighbor outside and asked about the truck. She replied “it's just in the back yard and we are thinking about selling it.” 

With that info,  I asked to take it for a test drive and was prepared to offer nothing more than $500 (my recent Christmas money, not expecting the offer to be accepted). I quickly found myself the proud owner of a tired 1989 Mazda B2200 with 114000 miles. 

Realizing, now we had to drive 8 hrs back to Minnesota in the winter and I just bought a truck. We drove the truck to my parents house the next day to celebrate with them and I went down to the local Tire store and purchased 4 all terrain tires at the tune of $650. Then changed all the fluids, filters, replaced some light bulbs and we were ready! We were not ready….
