newbie and just bought a ranger

[marz68]

Just saying whats up! I just got a 89 ranger extra cab, the body is straight but needs paint.
Im doing some work on it now and so far I replaced the passenger side power lock motor and both front seats cause one had a broken rail and the other would would not lock in the seated position.
I also notice that the front passenger side rotor had 3 stripped lugs so that will definitely have to be fixed.
Heres a pic of my truck.

Welcome to TRS, Marz!

Welcome! New paint is just the start of making it your own, most don't stop there for years. I'd rather deal with a faded/bad paint than if the underbody all shot to hell by the rust, that gets expensive.

thanks guys!

Hey Mac, i guess im lucky cause this truck is rust free.
I may end up giving it a hot rod look with a flat paint paint job.
