Here are some photos of my lil truck, its got some rust and all, but its a great lil truck. Im mostly just planning to mod the interior, as in the pics you will see i have already started.

This is to show off my rear speaker mods, i just did today. I already painted the dash trim all red, but i still plan to paint around the passenger side vent, and the front speaker grills.

I currently have a Pioneer DEHP-6700MP cd player, 4" Infinity reference series coax speakers in the front, and 5x7" Infinity reference coax's in the rear that you see i just put in the pillars... I was getting sick of dealing with those ugly boxes in the back. But they did sound pretty good in those little boxes i made up about 1 yr ago.

I plan to eventually get a sweet 4 channel amp, and then a single 10" sub and box with a proper amp for it aswell. And all the goodies to go with the amps, like a good 2-5 farad cap and 0-4ga wire kit w/ distribution block


Lemme know what you guys think!.

Final pics... just have to cut out the plastic covers for the new speaker sizes, and slap them on and it should look great.

A Mazda eh? Nice. Mazda only made a few pickups but they were some of the most reliable you could get as far as I can tell, I like it.

Yeah, when Mazda actually made them, they were great little trucks. The later models were (are) just re-badged Ford Rangers....

Looks like you've don some nice stuff to the little guy, pbasil! Gotta love in Infinity Reference. Great speakers, especially for the cost.

Great little pickups. Am I right in thinking they're RWD too?

Yes, they are RWD, but there were 4wd versions, but they had a slightly larger motor, The B2600.


SoOoOooo anyways, i still have a little work to do on the speaker install. There is a small gap around the top of the speaker. Im thinking of filling it with fiberglass or something similar to stop air from leaking out of the new "enclosure" that the speakers are in. Ide like to seal the rear pillars as best i can.


And yesterday, i just ordered these lovely new items :)

So as you can see in the other photos i have painted the trim in my truck... Well to go along with that, i am painting the kick panels in my truck aswell. I decided to do a 2-tone color on them, because i feel if they were just all red, it would be overkill. Im Using some of thet fusion paint meant for plastic again, because im very satisfied how well it sticks and does not chip off on the plastic like typical paint will.

Some before shots of the kick panels... The top pic is the stock kick panel, the bottome one with the tape on it, is the taped off version, giving you an idea of the layout for the paint to go on... Ill be painting tomorrow, so ill post finished pics tomorrow night most likely.

:) Turned out pretty good... a few flwas, but thats ok!

These pics do no justice for the quality of paint....
