My New Project

93 Ranger and my plan is a 4 link rear and front and rear air suspension. Goal is to be as close to laying the frame as possible. Down the road probably a 2.3 turbo swap from a Turbocoupe. First things are to ditch the ugly stripes and old man screen front and bug deflector. Found billet grilles pretty cheap on Ebay so I'll get one of those since there are holes in the grille.

I've seen a few of those little trucks done up, looked pretty good. That 2.3 sounds right!

Good little project dude, I'd throw the white walls and factory rims on your list with the stripes and bug deflector, the "old man screen front" can always be put to other uses around the house, like the front door.

Forgot to mention that. I already have a set of 18" Boss wheels in black chrome for it. I just need to get some curb rash repaired on 2 of them. I'll probably put them on soon anyways just to see how it looks.
