1989 Mazda B2600i 4x4

Had this truck for about 3 years,I used it for a year, it sat for a year, because my brother killed the clutch andI just left it in the garage cause I didnt have the time to fix it then. I really want to rebuild the whole thing. But I dont exactly have the money for that quite yet. My radiator blew a crack in it and I put a new one in, I replaced the steering colum, front axles, clutch, slave clyinder outter tie rod ends, front brake pads, changed oil, front shocks, still needs back shocks and back brakes.water pump belt, and the idler belt, some lights here and there resurfaced the fly wheel, and rotars,
It needs: bucket seats, new mirrors, bumpers, some bondo work and a paint job, it takes a second to start I dont have a radio and its hard to get into reverse sometimes, ide like a roll bar and Ide like to find all these things used or for cheap and it needs tires. all in all i think ive put about 16 hours of ****ty ass labor into this truck and 1200 in parts or more, which is more than I could probably sell it for.
Feel free to give me some imput and help on this one guys.

It sounds like you want to turn it into a work or off-road (weekend warrior) kind of a truck.
Consider doing some research (much easier these days than it used to be) to see what interchanges and can be modded to fit, and visiting your local junkyard. For example, you might find seats out of an Accord that are even better than the factory seats??
Remember too that Mazda trucks and Ford Rangers have a lot in common w/each other, so many things might just be the same.
