So after much time being wasted because of life, here is my new build thread geared towards the upcoming challenge.
As some or many know, years ago, I purchased a 1991 Ford Ranger with a blown up 4 cylinder from slefain, Brian M, for $400. I clearly overpaid as you will shortly see. After dragging this pile back to my home in KY with my dads help, it sat up until recently neglected in the yard. But when I was attempting to make the 2017 challenge, I was able to do a complete lowering kit of I-beams and axle flip, fresh front brakes per the rules, and swapped in an 8.8 that I originally had swapped into my old 96 ranger. Then the rest is unwritten history as unloved yard art.
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago. The home where this sat is now sold and needs moved. So I hook up the trailer and move it. I have no place here at home to store it besides on the trailer. But.... I do have my dads house in Michigan with one last space for a project. So, off to Michigan I go after moving the immovable.
Then that nasty interior....
Finally got it to its current home:
So, I unloaded the junk from the interior and started to start disassemble the interior to know what I'm working with...
Removed the front seats and I swear I had flashbacks to some of dusterbd13's build threads...
Removed the nasty, nasty, did I mention nasty? carpet... only had to cut some slots in 2 of the sill plate screws that love to rust into place and get those out.
I did find some recoup though..
