My name is Kyle and for the past year I have realized that I need a car and so my parents let me use their Mazda until Rachel turns 16 but there are some problems with this. number 1 the Mazda is not mine and I dont know why but for some reason that just bothers me. number 2 the Mazda has a 2.0, 4 cinder and most the time it only runs on 3 out of the 4 cylinders and this leads to an overall low score on the I wanna go fast category so I went out searching for cars on craigslist and I had a list of criteria that the car had to fit. 1 had to look cool. 2 hand to be fast, and 3 had to be manual. So after a lot of looking I found this truck which looks cool but doesnt drive. The guy who had it said that all it needed was a clutch. He had it listed for $2,500 and so I asked if he would let me get it for $1,500 and after a little negotiating he said ok. So that Friday me and my dad went to go retreive the master piece which was all the way in Nevada. |

Upon ariving at his house we relizied that the interior of the truck was also bad. Also the front passanger tire had the spare on it which had a 2 inch difference than the rest of them. It was a 33 inch and the rest were 31 inch. |
We also found out that the guy was a complete slob there was approxmantialy 2 tons of garabage in the whole car. |

We loaded the truck on the trailler and then went home. |
On the trip home I relizied that because I have a truck now once it runs i could start my buy and sell couch bussiness which is pretty awesome. |
|
Once we got it home we started to clean it out and found out that it was filled with trash in and out. Also in the bed there was this sticky orange stufff that did not want to come out and was very distuing. |
|
We put the truck in the shop and started working on it. Also I went and got the tire fixed so we could take off the spare and once I got home I started working on the clutch again and as I was doing this Landen was spinning the rear driver side tire with his foot and kicked the valve stem off the tire wich slightly agravated me. So I had to replace that tire and the spare is still on. |
| |
This is after the clutch was replaced and now you might think that it would run and drive but you would be wrong. After we replaced the clutch we were bleading the clutch and broke the master cylinder and then we replaced it but still cant get it to hold any prussure. |
Here is the tire that Landen so kindly kicked the valuve stem off and as you can see the valve stem is no where near where it needs to be because Landen thought it was a scoccer ball. |

This is the most recent picture of the interior of the truck and as you can see the seat is not a black hole. This is because the seat that my dad got from the donor truck for the 4 door bronco and that he has been using as a shop bench fited perfectly in the truck. Also as im sure you've noticied the the awesome looking shift knob there which brings the way the truck looks to a 10 out of 10. |
