My first car

[ajames942]

Well I bought this 1998 Ranger for $200.00 with no engine and 147,000 on the chassis. I found an engine for $675.00. Its a 3.0 Liter v6 with 50,000 miles on it. Put the engine in and I needed a new MAF sensor, new cam sync sensor, new fuel filter and now she runs! lol. Its a 5 speed manual...I can't wait till january when I get my license lol

Was it worth it ya think?
Let me know what ya think.

[ajames942]

Nice. I have a '94 with 161K. It's a 4cyl. 5spd. manual. It will be for sale soon though. My quad matches my new truck too, they are both black and red...I took a picture of the quad in the truck matching. I get my license in January too.

 

[ajames942]

Yeah I think Im gona keep the inner rim black lke it is now, and a silver or chrome ring around the edges. I need to paint them though the edged are really nicked and dinged up.
