Hi fellow Ford enthusiasts,
I recently acquired a 1989 Ford Ranger Custom 2.3L 4wd, manual transmission, its a beauty.
I knew i had some rust to repair on the body but didn’t know at what point it was dangerous.
My clutch and my break booster both let go while I was driving on the highway in 5th gear. It was a ROUGH stop to say the least.
Pushed them right threw my firewall.
Removed the seats and the floors to uncover more expected surprises.
At this point I know a cab replacement would probably my best option but that’s not the point, I'm fixing this baby up!
I have read many informative posts on here and I hope posting my repairs will help others as well.
I will be starting a thread (link coming soon) for my repairs in the proper forum section and I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Cheers!
