Default Hello everybody, rebuilding 98 Ranger XL

Finally getting around to signing on. Have been wanting to do this for ages. Decided to restore my old cars and trucks instead of buying new. Don't like all that new stuff on them. Prefer that i drive the truck not the truck drive me . My current project is restoring an old 98 ford ranger xl 2.5l 6' bed. Bought it new and then bought it back from the insurance after a major hailstorm. Not the prettiest these days especially the old aluminum hatch but still runs well for the most part. Put all new sensors in, spark plugs and wires, just got the new coils, springs and shocks. Also has new tires. Had the transmission and rear differential apart and put new seals in and a new clutch. Redoing the front suspension and want to also do the brakes. Thinking of upgrading to 10". Have a hard time finding the 9" parts anymore. Well that's about it. Oh it has over 300K miles on it.
