Here is my 1986 ford ranger.
Me and My dad rebuilt it.
it started out as a white 1986 ranger with a 2.3 liter streight 4
After 20 some odd years of neglect by my dad and it was in need of some tender love and care.
I found a replacment bed for it and spend a large amount of time sanding it down and removing those little white strips from the side of it.
As you can imagen my family was very angry with me, my little project took up the garage for an entire summer.
I did a lot of work on the cab corners, welding in replacements, and then hiding the welds with bondo and a lot more sanding.
Then thankfully the primer helped hid it some more.
After several long months of working in the garage this is how it turned out
I know its a little bit dirty, but thats what happens when you drive them. (LoL). What do you guys think?
