The bullets look fine, no worries.

Is this the one that received the storm damage, or was that one of your other GT's?

Is the metal stretched on the door dent? That one looks like it might pop out with just a tiny left over ripple by the handle.

Hm.. if that doesn't work you could try taking the door panel off. I popped a dent out on the bed of my truck by reaching up behind it and pushing hard. Someone quite large leaned against it and put it back in though, bigger too.

Just a regular 4cyl I think. The "GT" was more of a trim package if I remember correctly.

GT's came with the 2.9

the limited grille is a personal prefference thing, like first gen over second gen, at least you seem to agree with me on the second gen's looking better than the first :)

this is from Blue, but Whitey is the same....oh, and 140hp rating from Ford....

yes, but also know that the automatic WAS optional!!!!

Scotts90 is correct, only engine choice on them. Never ever any 4cyl made.

true, but no, both of my daily drivers were '88s. sure i do like the front end of the '89s better, but i like both...give me either....
my first GT i owned......and still got....oops, just noticed, cant see front end, but it is an '88...

didnt the GT's all come with 4.10's? i seem to remember noting that as the only "performance" feature.

thats one thing that disappoints me a little on the ranger GT's: no perfomance difference. im not even asking for a lot, 10-15 HP over the regular 2.9's would have been enough to really earn that GT badge.

still good looking trucks though :icon_thumby:
