My new project truck: 95 Ranger

[scottg]

Picked upa 95 Ranger today for 600bucks

3.0 Automatic 2wd ~120k miles

Got it towed to work to get a full inspection

Currently needs 2 brake lines to start with.

Needs a GOOOD cleaning inside and out, but need to get it on the road first.

did some more work today.

Did front and rear shocks. Also installed my front wheels, had to use wheel spacers/adapters to get it to clear (luckily i still had a set). Need to pick up some better lugnuts, but thats not big hurry.

Also installed a cheapo aftermarket radio, no pics

I fixed the exhaust that was rotted off at the flange after the cat. Cat and muffler were in good shape, so i cheaped out and did a repair kit on the flange and a turn down after the stock muffler, not bad for 20 bucks

installed my "new" mirrors, can't beat the 30bucks shipped!
