My New Ranger!
WOOT! I finally got something that doesnt say "he's got a wife and 4 kids", I had a 2000 taurus wagon and it was a good car but I hated telling people what I drove, now I can be proud to tell everyone what I drive.
1987 Ranger(not sure on the trim model, I will check the vin later unless one of you knows by looking, cus I can't tell)
She only has 106k miles, and is pretty beat up, but I have HUGE plans for her. I wan't to turn her into a show truck, but not too over-the-top, just something simple and clean to show off.
I walked around the truck for about an hour and made a list of what I wanted to do. Some of the more major things I want to do are replace the fenders and hood and possibly the bed because there is cancer all around it, I'm gonna save up and have it bagged, not a full 4 or 6 link but just something basic that will drop the ride height to about an inch off the ground or so. and I want to get some 17" or 18" mustang rims. I'm gonna shave off the drip rails around the roof, and shave the door handles and possible make suicide doors. I'm gonna get rid of those huge heavy duty mirrors and get some of the newer smaller kind(so if u want those mirrors let me know, just pay shipping and they're yours), and I need to get new rubber around the windows cus they're all cracked and dried up, I'm also THINKING of welding up the tail gate, we'll see what happens..., As for the interior, I'm gonna hit up the junkyard and get some new seats and a dash cus they're falling apart, it's cracking and some of the foam is missing, It also needs a headliner, And I want to get a new steering wheels, like a grant GT
so what do you all think? If you have anything to say please let me know! I WANT to know all of your opinions about this

the damn car failed smog, so we put back on the stock air intake and took it to a shop that i used to work at and adjusted the timing, it's supposed to be at 10 over, but it was sitting at 18! so we got that all situated, now im gonna go back to smog tomarrow and see how she does, the cats are bad but im hoping it'll still pass, otherwise i'll be taking the bus 20 miles to work... fun times
