roll over?

[mxyamaha]

There is a 1993 ranger that got rolled over and is dented up. is it worth 1000$ for the parts and things it has on? would it be cheaper to put my 88 ranger extended cab and body panels on the chasis or to pull out the dents? look for yourself.

I'd buy it.

Hard to tell by the pics. I would be concerned around the windshield and doors. Also how many miles, what lift and engine size? What are you going to use it for? DD or off-road?
I say go drive it and see if it drives straight. Might be a good deal.

I'd buy it and drive it as is. Haha.

yeah its just down the street from me actually. it would be a dd to school and work, but i would be wheeling almost every weekend as long as i didn't screw something up the previous weekend. my only concern is how to fix the roof so i can put a new windshield in?

 

[Nhaz]

my guess from the pics is the passenger side wheel is cambered badly. most likely damaged as well.

 

[mxyamaha]

but can i fix the roof or do i need to get a whole new cab

Well, my brother had a first gen that he rolled over and smashed the roof in. He pushed it back up with a sledge hammer and got it so that a new windshield could be put in. No promises on that though, your best bet would be to call a junkyard and see if they will sell you a roof. Then cut on the center of the windshield area all around (you would have to remove the class all around, but you could just open the doors and be all set) and have someone weld the new one back onto your truck. Spray a little paint and your all set. Hell, you could even look for a Ranger with a sun roof and put that on, haha.

that guy went to my collage last year. its a nice rig id pick it up for 1K its not a bad rig. the tires alone are worth it

$1000 is too much for something that old and beat to hell!

 

[mxyamaha]

would a 88 ranger extended cab fit so i dont have to buy a new one

id buy it and just say F the dents, they add character! for $1000 you cant even find a running ranger around here that doesnt have terminal skin cancer!

 

[LearjetMinako]

For a $1000 weekend off-roader. I would buy it and take a hammer to those dents. But for a DD, I would look for something less banged up.

You can probably straighten the roof dent with some effort from a hammer and human muscle. Along with some other tools as well.
