Here in the states the really early model Mazdas/Rangers were pretty much identical then mid 80's - early 90's i believe they were completely different then once again they were extremely similar again with minor diferences they even shared the Explorer platform for awhile. Sorry like I've been told I'm apparently loaded with useless information. 🤔🤔😂🤣😂 Pretty cool build BTW! Glad to see you save & rebuild the ole truck!
Thanks for the kind words mate, and for the extra info! It was a fun mini truck build and very rewarding to have this old Ford Courier back on the road. I hope you get a chance to check out the rest of the build videos 👍
Australia’s version of crap must be different then the U.S. That truck is super clean and would sell for a decent amount over here. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
So cool to see another courier being built, I have a dual cab courier of this shape, has 495000ks on the clock, and the engine is just now due for a rebuild.
Thank you for doing this video series. I have an '88 Mazda B2200 and am about to start restoring it on the cheap. I'm not sure if this will become my daily driver or if I will pass it on to one of my kids. Either way, I can't wait to get my hands dirty.
Damn! I hope you can fix all of that rust, because I have spots of early stage rust (some of them are pretty big, talking about the bottom of the doors) on my Focus Mk.1 which I already removed a small part of them and it clearly worked, but I would like to see your style of removing it. As for the rest of the vehicle - I think it's gonna be way easier than removing all that rust. Wishing you luck on this journey! Make it count! :]
I have watched your video carefully again where you change the "Ball Joints" and the "Sway Bar bushings" on your Mazda/Ford. You say you will switch the Control Arm bushings too. But where do you find all your Ball Joints and bushings? I live in Sweden. There are no parts left for my Mazda B1800 Pick up from 1980. Do you have an email address?
Hello mate, the problem is the same here in Australia. Not many parts around anymore. I try and use rockauto.com because the parts are very cheap compared to prices here, and the shipping isn't crazy expensive. I hope this helps you 👍
Everything in life is a challenge, and this is one of them, good luck.👍👍
Oh yes...

@@ryanwhakatihi924 cheers my man! Thanks for that and hope your little ute comes along nicely! Great cars...
Now that I've followed this full mini truck build series, I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the progress. Now I want another budget minitruck! 😩
Go for it!
Can't wait to see how this project goes!
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your support. The restoration is going pretty well now, and a new video to come in very shortly 😊

Thanks mate - it's a long road ahead, but I like a challenge lol
