@The Shape what was the bid up to on eBay? When I get another fox, that'd be more my speed. I've really enjoyed restoring my current ride and won't know what to do with myself when it's done.

I would assume the engine is as neglected as the rest of the car. $3,500 + body & paint + interior resto + suspension upgrades + very possible engine rebuild/refresh = bad deal IMO. This type of car you're looking at is a project build car. Hope that is what you're looking for and if it is then the price should be talked down.

I get home and there's no boxes waiting for me. The brown truck stops in front of my house but only waves to me as he walks to my neighbors house. The problem is I've already acquired all my parts for this stage of my build and now it's all wrench and tuning time. What do I do with myself when I'm not wrenching? I need to order something!!! If my build ever gets finished I'll have to start another project, maybe fix something that's not broken? S/C my lawn mower?

Actually I already know what I'm going to do, V8 swap my Dads 93' Ranger

IDK man. I still maintain that if this car had another 100hp, I'd leave it alone.




...and start on another one.

Cool I just bought a 98 Ranger myself for a 5.0 project later on down the road. I'll just drive it now until I can acquire all the parts I need. Do you have pics of the Ranger? /Thread JACK!

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

If I didn't have to deal with stupid Houston emissions laws I'd have a 408W ranger. I haven't found one old enough to be exempt that's in fair enough shape to mess with.

Yeah maybe this one needs a little too much interior help. I found another interesting coupe closer to me check out my other thread.
