My 1989 Ranger Build

[Ryannn]

1989 Ford Ranger, Paid 400$ for it.

1 Week after I Bought it

Tuned it up, New Oil, Cap, Roter, Plugs, Belts.

Swapped the Headliner out.

New Fuel Pump.

Removed Some of the Rust and repainted over it. ( Flat Black Spray paint )

2/28/11 - New Alternator, replaced the Original MotorCraft one that was 22 years old with a Duralast one from AutoZone with a lifetime warranty.

3/9/11 - New Thermostat.

3/14/11 - Wheelin

3/24/11 - Another new Thermostat. The one I got on 3/9/11 Malfunctioned and would cause my heater to get super hot then not blow at all, and other things. This one seems to be working like magic.

4/8/11 - New Dashboard face plate. The Old one was becoming discolored and had sun damage. Started my Engine Swap, Found a Good donor and the local Pick N Pull and has only been in the yard 2 months it was in a front end accident. Everything was intact on the engine, He had a Pushbar/Brush Guard on the front which saved the engine.

Hells yes! That is kick ass!

I'm not sure what a boy scout would say though...

I'm jealous, keep us updated, and I for one want to hear the exhaust after you're done with that part.
