UPDATES!
so its been awhile since i posted pics, but here are some updates.
i have been super busy with work and other things, but i have got some big deal parts and some work done!
first off i got everything fitted and then started welding the floor up solid with the tranny tunnel and getting working on the back of the cab floor!
i spaced the tranny tunnel up and then welded 16 ga strips to it and it made the floor super solid...
i also picked up a matching rx7 center console and started the tranny tunnel.
random horrible pic of the step up spacing for the floor. shows how much i had to raise it to clear the frame!
and the drivers side...
then i cut the rear floor section. i am hoping to have enough room to run rx7 rear seats also, but thats fr a different day, plus theyre f***ing hard to come by in good condition and not cost $500, so that will have to wait...
making sure everything is gonna be level and square is important. everything is gonna be covered in carpet, but it needs to feel like it is stock and not custom. basically i want this to feel like it came this way from the factory and everything fits without being cramped even though i am using an interior from a car..
so to keep with the car theme, its gotta have a hand brake instead of the pull style that trucks of this year have. so i got an rx7 ebrake setup and cut the mount off the rx7 tranny tunnel to use the ebrake and keep the flow of the car interior. here is the sheetmetal cutout, and measurements have been taken and the tranny tunnel will be sectioned to make this fit and look like it was meant to be...
here is the ebrake handle...
now onto the upgrade that i lost sleep over! i know i said i was in no hurry for seats, but i came across these from Magnum on here for a smoking deal! thanks a bunch dude!
rx7 fc turbo II seats in primo condition! they are super comfy and fit so nice with the style and theme of the truck!
not installed, but mocked up!
i haz interior!
i also got my fc lower intake manifold to fd upper adapter and my daughter was helping me test fit it!
so my other truck stil doesnt run. i am having vacuum issues, so i said f*** trying to deal with chasing vacuum leaks and junk...
so i bought a weber carb for it! lol. if the weather would get nicer and i didnt have a wedding to go to today and im sure ill be hung over tomorrow, but ill try to get it on even though its supposed to rain. anywho, heres the weber..
and then just some random crap i bought when i was out of state for work and bored...
here is a wankel keychain that actually spins.. pretty cool for ten bucks lol..
and then i got this keychain for the other mazda... gotta be able to differentiate between the keys for the rotary and the piston engine lol...
anyway, i hope u guys enjoy the updates, and hopefully i can make some more headway in the next week or so...
