hi guys I just bought my first car/truck which is a 1994 ranger 2.3 5spd with 360,000 miles but it has a new engine with only 40,000 miles. I got it from a friend and paid under $1000. every thing works great just needed some cleaning. now to some it may not make since buying a truck at only 15yrs old but it was a good deal and it will be much better to learn stick on then my bros 2006 mustang gt. I am very mechanically inclined and deal in jet skis, lawn equipment, and boats. thanks for reading, chas.

I thought about changing the plugs but it looks like a major pain. I hear they're good for 100k miles so I'm not gonna bother with it. it has a small crack in windshield but insurance will take care of that. the air compressor has hole in it. should I go to my local upull&pay/junk yard and get a used for $30 or spend $100 for a new one?

I always say new but if money is an issue try to find one used that looks fairly new.

ill go new then. I bought the truck from the guy who does the interiors on our boats. the headliner was really really bad and he gave me a role of new headliner with the truck. I just installed it today. it was a pain to do but totally worth it. looks so much better.

Nice! I've had my headliner out of my truck for months saying I was going to do it but never got the material or got around to it lol
