This is my 1997 Ford Ranger Xlt I have a lot to do. I kinda got screwed and did not pay much attention to the front end even after my wife showed me the damage before I bought it. it has 205k miles but the engine and transmission are solid. The only thing with the engine is that the driver side value cover needs the seal replaced. And now the worst. It appears that it had a front end damage and the radiator support needs to be replaced. The headlight mounts, front bumper with valiance needs replacing. The vehicle needs new tires and rims because the rims on the vehicle are not the right size and the wheels rub when I turn and now here are some pictures. I have to change the shifter handle and the fix the drivers side door handle.
This is the front end where you can see the hood isn't alligned and the headlight mounts and the radiator support is bent.
Side view. where the fenders are bowed alittle from the front end problems.
So the good is that I got most of the front end pieces for free and now I have to find someone to weld the radiator support for me. Still looking for a good bumper and vailiance. It seems like there is a lot to do but the truck runs. So just little thingsto fix. once I get the front end fixed I will feel a lot better about spending this amount of money of this truck.
I am thinking of painting the truck black with the top being burnt orange but that is way down the road.
Looking for a good deal on rims and tires. I might have to go through tirerack.com for the rims.
