update:exhaust fell off. now open headers. it sounds like a v-8 finally
IT LIVES AGAIN! my friend Greasemonkey24 got it running and it runs.....not well but it runs. needs tuneup(wires cap rotor another oil change and tranny cleaning with new filter this time) and fixing front brake thats hanging up. also checking rear oil and probably going to grease the front end.
got old 70's bias snow tires on the rear now and they are pretty damn good looking. even the tire guy that was there said they looked good. got em free from the town recycling tire pile. for a old dodge or ford car i think. they dont fit over the rear hub exactly. and they both have trim rings =D
my 1983 Ford Ranger rackbody(the project my dad doesnt need to know about)
Bought for: $50 towing fee from a farm feild and 1 can of ether for the bees
(another resto project) and its staying a rackbody(maybe)
it looks badass without the sides(and yes those are all spares)
after work
my dad originally wanted this for me to use as a yard truck but since i got it ive grown attached to it
i am planning on rebuilding it original but im adding on performance stuff to make it more fuel efficient and beastly.
custom exhaust. theres more holes in it than swiss cheese
the reason im rebuilding it is to have a nice little truck i can use for a daily driver with cheap insurance
After i finish fixing it im going to use it for a work truck
