This is my old college truck, a 1996 Ford Ranger. I gave it to my parent and they left it in this conditions. It last ran in 2007 (based off the tags on the window.) The goal is to update the truck and give it a new paint job, Wish me luck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Replaced:

Master Cylinder
Slave Cylinder
Clutch
Pressure Plate
Pilot Bearing
New Brakes
New O2 Exhaust Senors, (Front and Rear)
Cleaned up the Mass Air Flow Senor

Also painted the crossmember and driveshaft























Next weekend install this:
As well as paint the frame and install a new fuel sending unit. Maybe get brave and remove the rearend and paint that to.

After I get all the panel on, I'm going to paint the whole truck white. Red won't stay for long.
