My Little Red Rig

[Iron Ranger]

Here's the story, My grandfather died last year and one of his vehicles was a 92 Ranger 2.3 2wd XLT. This was in very good shape for 100K truck. I aquired it and, like all vehicles here in Minnesota, had a rust issue above the rear wheel wells. My brother told me of his good friend who was an autobody master. I brought it to his shop to get the rust fixed, but the paint was so degraded (no clear coat on those rangers) that he said he'll redo the WHOLE truck for a good price, as long as I help. I will put up pics as soon as I figure out how.

sounds like you lucked out bud. i really wish I could find someone to do that for me in my area.

Let me tell you, this was one of those situations where I could not just "let it go" The truck itself is worth MAYBE $800. The sentimental value,though, is why I went through with it.

Sounds like my truck, its sentamental value to me is quite high, thats why I'm putting a $6000 body and paint bill on it to bring it back to show room condition, old school truck with all new school features.
