Hiyall, my neighbor had a 1993 4WD XLT 3.0 manual sitting in his driveway for a while and I got it from him for cheap (imo). It has seen some hard times but for the most part is in fairly decent shape.
I have looked on the forum for some helpful info, so I figured it was time to say howdy and post up.
A few pics below, from the day I bought it to today when I installed the bull bar.

With a good buff job, that truck could shine like new again. I'd spend about 10 hours on that paint and end up with a real jewel..

I'm gonna have to agree with Bird... I think the paint would clean up really well.

I agree as well.....in my first post; the middle 2 pics have the tail gate and 1/2 of the bed waxed on......last 2 pics are AFTER I spent a few more hours manually buffing the rest.....the driver quarter panel is FUBAR with cracked Bondo falling out.


It looks 10x better now, imo…...but there are many other character flaws in numerous places, so it's not gonna get much more aesthetic attention.

That looks 100x better, thanks for posting!
