Well this is my fifth ranger. It is a 99 3.0 auto with 215k. When I bought it. It wasn't running. I spayed some starting fluid in it and it started right up. So now the plan is to wash it its covered in tree sap. Change out the seats and carpet and windows. And It has a broken shackle.

From the first two pics it looks normal.










Then there is the interesting side and even interestinger rear window.











Lets not forget the custom bed cover.







And finally the nasty interior.

 

So how much did you pay for this piece?

 

wow that poor ranger....it's lead a ROUGH life.

 

$500 its mostly dirty It would make a huge difference just to give it a bath and get all the crap out of it.

 

It's a great project truck!

That's a hella deal!

 

I thought it was going to look worse than it does...not to bad for the price..good find

 

Not bad for the price

 

looks like she'll need little tlc

 

jerry rigging to its best lol. There's one thing im very jealous of your truck, the rear opening windows. What's the story behind these? what trucks came with them? (don't mean to hijack)

 

looking good. take off those stick on hood scoops thow!

 

Well I don't want to mess the paint up under the scoops so they might just have to stay on.

 

Well its been hard to get motivated with it being so cold in the garage even with my heater. But here is some progress from a couple weeks ago.

 

Man that thing is nice inside....want to trade interiors?...lol

 

lmao i cant wait to see how this comes out cause right now its ghetto fabolous i cant believe someone drove it around ... the least ghetto thing is the wood window haha

 

wow apparently the previous owner was not a auto glass specialist

 

good looking project with tons of potential.

pm sent.

 

Wow not a bad price for a running truck! Some tlc and it should be looking good in no time.

 

i need to find a truck that color for that price, i need body panels

 

wow alot of junk yard trips to fix that bad boy

 

No junk yard trips just one trip to johns house.

 

Well i got the inside done nice and clean but now it only starts with starting fluid and don't seem to be shifting right.





So I found a parts truck cheap with a 4.0 auto so im going to do a cab swap and just put the maroon cab on the black frame. I started tearing some of it apart it did have broken grill headlights and header panel on it . and a back bumper and tailgate.



















and some how after all of that the antenna is still straight

 

Finished pics for now. I have been driving it for a month and a half.
I plan on painting it someday and changing the rims.

 

nice...take that front plate bracket off though lol

 

yeah it still needs a lot of stuff done havn't had time i been working on my house and stuff.

 

Looks pretty good in the pictures, glad you lost those hood scoops....lol
