Sad Ford Ranger!

Well, this story starts out with a sad looking truck sitting in the auction that was a charity vehicle.  It was a nonrunner, bad clutch, and bad transmission is what the description said.  Also has a salvage title, but what the heck!  I bought it as a project and paid too much for it, towed it home, and started tearing it apart.

So far, the engine did start, but unsure of how good it is.  I am taking out the driver side inner fender well to replace the clutch master cylinder and found a HUGE pack rat nest.  Oh, the master cylinder reservoir was totally destroyed, and that’s why the clutch doesn’t work.  Also, I found Bondo on the driver’s side which may be why it has a salvage title. And the best of all, it only has 52,000 miles (more like 152,000 or 252,000 as we get further into it).  So, I am too embarrassed right now to put up a photo but will in a few months to show what the old girl looks like.  Wish us luck!!
