What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

I looked at her sitting in my driveway and almost teared up at the fact that she is down for a long while. Hopefully I am able to find a 1.9TDI quickly and begin the conversion. So far every thing is pointing towards blown piston rings and if I'm going to go that far with the engine, I just would rather do the swap.

Got quite deep into my suspension rebuild today. The passenger side engine mount was an interesting task, and while I ran into an annoyance with the right rear LCA bolt hitting what looks like a catalytic converter, I got past that. Nothing like the complications a BMW-powered MINI Cooper S brings to the garage. Unfortunately the LCA's I bought turned out to be the wrong version, and I'll have to return those. That didn't stop this weekend's project, but it did slow down how soon I can get tires and an alignment...

Oh man, we loved both our mini cooper s.

We had an 04 and an 05. The 04 was a stick and the 05 was an auto and both were so much fun. Those were prince george engines? I cant remember if that is right thouhh
