Secret Project Coming Soon!

13B-REW Small Bridgeport

I got my motor and here are a few pictures. I am in the process of cleaning her up and getting it ready for paint.

8) Engine bay Por-15, primer, and paint

I would like to thank Lance and Louis for helping me with the painting. Louis started the paint job and I found the courage to take over and finish it. I used to paint when I was around 18 years old.

7) Engine bay prep for Por-15

I really like to thank Lance (opie, superchargedrx3) for helping with the welding and metal work. He does great work and his prices are reasonable.

6) Degreasing and cleaning engine bay

The engine bay was a complete mess, grease, grime, tar, undercoating, and rust. There wasnt alot of rust, but the dirt was extreme. You could tell that it wasnt cleaned for a very long time.

5) 1967 Camaro front shock install

Thanks to Brad from the REPU forum for this mod. I bought 1967 Camaro Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks (part# BE3-2972) from Autozone.

4) Bed paint removal and rustproofing

I removed the paint and rust proofed the bed with Por-15. I have to get pictures of the finished product.

3) Interior clean up...

I decided to start working on the interior. When I first picked up the truck I didnt notice the house rug in the truck. I pulled it out and found a lot of glue covering the floor.

2) Hankook 225/45ZR/R15 tires

I cleaned her up and put on some Hankook 225/45ZR/R15 tires. The wheels are solid steel and weigh a ton. I really like the low profile look.

1) When I first bought the REPU

These are the before pictures when I picked her up in Virginai! Thanks to Rotary Haven for holding the truck for me while I made plans to pick her up.

1975 Mazda REPU

I have links below of various stages of my REPU. Some of these stages are not complete. I will post pics as a go through the stages.
