I am doing a full renovation of a 1997 ford ranger from top to bottom. Basically fixing everything thats wrong with it and then some. Check it out, I posted lots of pix of the progress.

If you have any ideas, please let me know, I could use ideas.

Thanks

I have now finished the overhaul. It looks good, let me know what you think.

Also, I have lots of leftover parts now if anyone needs some stuff in the central florida area.

That looks awsome. I like how it is a two tone kinda. Good amount of each color I think too.

Like what I did to mine, except mine took me 6 months of piddling around. I love how yours turned out, looks absolutely amazing.Thats the nicest interior I have seen posted on this site. Very good job, Its amazing what a little paint can do isn't it? Here's my job on mime.

It was worth it. I replaced or painted every surface but the stereo surround and the door pulls. So it should look like a new truck. It needs to be vacuumed out though.

Why is this so funny?

www.lmctruck.com has all the rubber you will need.

to the OP: turned out good but I think you need an extra coat of paint on the side of the dash.

Those gauges are awesome. I am slightly annoyed that my 2000 Ranger with manual transmission has no RPM gauge; maybe I'll eventually do something about it.

WOW!!! Nice Job! It gives me incentive and inspiration!

Shoeboy, that Dark Blue sweet looking truck could be my Lady's big brother! Looking good there too!

Looks like you did great job to me! Just out of curiosity how much of that sound deadner did you use? While I'm at it how much would you ask for that cluster and the needles that you do have?
