Picked up this on a title for title trade for my lowered 88' Mazda B2200. I definetly think I got the better end of the trade seeing how two weeks after our trade he blew the head gasket in the Mazda. This is my second tb and loved the first one I had. And now with an understanding wife I can actually start to do things to this one(the ex was so against anything). Right now how it stands is exactly how I picked it up a month ago. Bald ass tires with a spare still on it, needing tie rods and shocks/ struts. So figured might as well just do everything now. Plans for this as of now are just to replace what is needed....with better parts. Ive been researching what is needed and really wont cost that much. Should be ordering everything next week and doing it next weekend. Other than that Im in northern VA almost at WV line.

What area of VA?

One of my favorite local areas to explore is west of Harrisonburg.

We were up near Harrisonburg back in early August on one of those free timeshare visit deals. We did some hiking etc but I didn't even think about finding somewhere to take the family to offroad.
