Decided to fix up my truck
 

Hey everybody. I've had my truck for over 5 years now and have beat it all to heck. I"ve recently decided it would be in my best interest to take good care of it. So now I'm starting a long process of fixing all the gigantic dents, giving it a good paint job, and making the interior a little easier on the eyes. My truck is actually a Mazda B2500, but as you all probably know it is just a ranger rebranded. Most of the time I have to look up parts for a ranger to find them. Anyway I'll take some pictures so you can see what 18 year old me did to a perfectly good truck and post them tomorrow. Thanks for all the help in advance!!!

Welcome!

welcome good luck on the overhaul

welcome, sounds like what i did to my truck over the years i guess you live and learn

My friends have always made fun of my truck for being a POS but I never really took it to heart. A couple weeks ago a guy told me he wouldn't be caught dead in it cause it was so ugly. i felt really bad about what I had done to it. When I bought it, it had some scratches from being a work truck, then i ran it into a stump and put a massive dent in the front drivers side fender. Then scraped some trees and tore up the passengers side bed fender. It has had a rough life since i bought it. It has done a lot for me and its time to repay the debt.

welcome to R-F, Bryan!

wow,worse thing i ever did was back into a telephone pole once, it put a nice big dent in the bed, my ex laughed so hard that day it sucked

welcome

does anyone think there is hope for that front fender or should i head to a junkyard and buy a new one? I'd like to fix it if i can cause there isnt a lot of money coming in right now but if i have to replace it i will.

Wow man good luck ! junkyard for the fender pry cheapest route.

Yeah I really ruined her, didn't I? Kids will be kids. I should probably buy a new truck but, she's my first so ill keep her around until the frame breaks in half.
