1986 Mazda B 2.0
Looks like an S10 at first glance doesn't it? I certainly thought it was and was very much surprised to find that it's really a Mazda under there! Well, that's what you get after years of hard work.
Mike-D went on hiatus to B.C. leaving his pride-and-joy to his good friend Eric Lang of Pickering. In his garage, in his spare time Eric transformed the little Mazda that couldn't into the Mazda that could (compete) over the span of 4 years. Lets go over the mods:
