Have been wanting a small truck for quite a while and things finally fell into place last weekend when I brought home a '94 blue Splash with 4.0L and automatic.
Showing 225K+ miles but the engine/trans were supposedly rebuilt "by the previous owner". No idea when that might have been
Runs good and is in decent condition all things considered. It does, however, have a handful of minor issues which I will remedy as time and funds permit.
Things like non-op coolant and oil pressure gauges, sagging headliner, worn 60/40 seats and door panels, poorly installed radio, broken taillight lens, among other things.
This weekend my projects include flushing/replacing coolant, changing oil and filter, replacing the broken ignition switch, gluing the headliner fabric back in place, and picking up a tonneau cover (with no hardware ). See my forum question HERE
Replaced the worn windshield wipers earlier this week. Also, I have a VW Jetta with leather seats that I am considering swapping into the Ranger. I plan to at least pull the VW seats this weekend and get them cleaned up.
My daily driver for the past decade has been a Porsche 914 so going from that to a truck - even if a small truck - is quite a change. So far, I am loving it
