My POS Craigslist Special 92 Ranger

Damn it's starting to look really clean

It needs body work and it's got a shitty white paint job. I have some ideas


My first thought was something silly like this

CS for Craigslist Special hahaha.... but when I thought of this I forgot that it says GT. If I had a V8 swapped in that might be ok. But I thought of something better...

So I put the Hurst shifter in it and I have Hurst Wheels... so maybe make a Hurst edition Ranger....

Something like that might be pretty cool


Thoughts?

If going Hurst themed, I'd have to seriously think about the old Hurst mustang scheme. Black and gold.

I am the furthest thing from a Mustang fan there is. I'm also not a fan of the white and gold color scheme of the early Hurst models. I have a long time before I have to make a decision on paint colors.
Thanks for the input!

Old vs new drop beams. Not going on yet I have more to remove and then some cleaning and painting to do before the new stuff goes on

Well it looks like I will be getting new radius arm brackets

That's fine with me at least I don't have to clean this mess up??

Also this was pretty cool to look up and see

I asked them how the weather was up there but they were snobs and didn't answer me?

Ordered new Moog radius arm brackets. Just a skosh less than $100. Comes with all the bolts and I'm pretty sure it even comes with the bushings. I already have new poly bushings though so I may swap them out

I want new camber bushings too...will these work? This is one thing I haven't researched

Got the radius arm brackets off

New ones are supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Also removed my front sway bar. Going to replace the bushings in that and the rear sway bar too

As long as you are under there you should replace the body mount bushings--makes a huge difference.

I probably will not do it right now but it is very soon on the list. I'm running out of money and I want to get it back on the ground

But things could change. Look at this

Core supports.

Body mounts are not that bad but they are on the list trust me

Hahaha

Good enough for now. Love my hot water hookup in the garage

My work area is so much cleaner now
