I'm new to the forums and trucks but not to cars I already introduced myself so heres my truck
Recently picked her up, I am addressing the rust issues as days go on but thanks to Fay the progress has been slowed down.
I wouldnt call it underconstruction I would consider it more of a restoration or reviving a beat down truck.
***Disclaimer: I did not swap the engine although I have seen/ worked on the truck before it was purchased any tips will be greatly appreciated***
I replaced the K&N filter with the longer version, I had a BBK intake for it but it doesnt fit with the AC box, she's automatic with a B&N shift kit I plan a 5 speed swap but i'm not a dreamer if a deal comes along on a WC T5 it will be mine if not she's still fast with the auto.
Pics added 9/23/08(Cobra rims, TRS decal(10 hp! no lie)
-------------------------------------------------
And the swap:
Working on the Interior
Old and worn 60/40 bench chlorine stained carpet and windsheild leaking smell:
Work in progress fox body mustang buckets/ steering wheel change, some audio upgrades(Carpet to come after leaks are sorted out):
What wheels are on there now:
a little bit on whats to come(I'm looking for some meatier tires since they were on my friends car):
Once the funds are available Im planning to lower the truck with some DJM I beams and 2" coils in the front and a rear flip kit but not sure yet since the rear of the truck sits some what low as is and I want a rake so I dont rub the tires when the 5.0 squats the rear.
also things I plan to change:
side mirrors( most likely back to stock)
removal of all the stickers(for the clean look)
Address rust(the best I can )
Power mods( I have a Cobra intake manifold but Need a GT40 with the bend TB part if anyone is interested in a trade LMK)
Carpet after leaks fixed
red to black interior vynil paint
TheRangerStation.com decal to show miami where to get their ranager info
I'm not sure how much you guys like street rangers but heres mine, love it or hate it I think its a pretty nice truck. any suggestions please LMK I have some little bits to sort out and the truck should look nice. I'm not a show car guy nor a straight track I like drifting but not gonna get too serious with that in this truck I just appreciate some power and styling to go with it.
