That why it shines better, I was going to ask. I need to get a v-6 emblem for mine, I have one in my garage.

 

[TheNicky]

haha its pretty funny huh! i wowed a buddy when he saw it then told em what i used lol... but yea i too have a couple v6's just in case... theres a reason why trucks are always missing them lol

 

[dangerranger83]

You going to try to fix that car with the valve problem or drive your truck now?

 

[TheNicky]

Sold the focus! now my baby my DD its ok tho
A) I hated the focus never trusted the damn thing
B)I Love my ranger
Those 2 combinations make selling a vehicle VERY easy...
i smogged in just in time tho... i was bumming rides for a week and man was that awful

[dangerranger83]

[TheNicky]

How old does a car have to be in cali to have to get smogged? Here in WA anything over 25 yrs old is exempt... making 83's and 84's officially exempt here.

Looks great. What paint did you use to paint the dash? I have the same map light thing in my truck but it is tan and the rest is blue.
