Saving a Mazda from the scrap yard

[88Turbo]

Well the rangers not done, so I need something to drive. I found this 1999 Mazda b3000, 2wd, auto v6 reg cab. The only thing, it was rolled in a snow storm (dents in roof, cab corner banged up, front clip broken bad and a leaf broke)... anyways, I payed $300 for it, runs the very best, drives perfect, 4 new tires, new brakes, spotless interior, sprayed in bedliner.

So I though why not bring it back considering the guy was gonna scrap it. I went out and bought a new bumper, headlight mounting bracket and grill, a mint door off a 94 ranger, and a new battery. All things done shes gonna be a nice little truck.

Ill post pictures soon
