please don't primer it

don't plan on it...o i forgot to add paint to the list. i**** primer and flat black cars....unless done correctly with a matte finish and paint from a gun and not a can with a marble in it lol

What year is said Ranger pick-up? If it is one of the late eighties square ones, then do not want.

nope, 95....pretty clean got it for 800 bucks.

So i traded the diamonds, got tired of the wear and tear on my car from such a heavy wheels.....i got a sweet set of love/**** wheels. 16x7 et20 mille miglia's....IMHO they look so much better then the diamonds should have shitty pics up soon, also in need of spacers sunken battleship much

About to take a turn for the best.....here's a little teaser of whats about to come next!

[Daviticus]

I personally like the open, utilitarian style of this engine bay without all the randomness strewn about by the factory. Drop the B230 back in there [painted anything but yellow] and have a clean, simple wire tuck going on, and I think it'll look plenty fine. A nice contrast would be a gloss black or even gunmetal booster, and a cleaned up master cylinder.

I've always thought adding metal and filler to engine bays was rather pointless, but then again, to each is own.

Progress is looking good.

wiring harness is shot, so i have to go pick up another tomoro.....thinking about trying to shave the engine bay a little bit...fill in and bondo spot welds around strut tower, hide battery and washer bottle with welded in plates...maybe with 14 guage sheet metal.

Not my car but kind of a drawn out idea....

red square will be plated flat(on both sides)?
greeb dotted will be moled with sheetmetal and filled smooth?

[volvo=win]

cutting another coil upfront tomoro and bumpstops....aswell as welding up my adjustable panhard bar.. should have some pics

[volvo=win]

Thanks for the input about the bumpers...so you still gonna sell your car?

[manbeard]

First 2 and a half coils i cut dropped the front end alot! Then a few months after i cut another...and it raised my ride high about an inch....Then cut another yesterday....Thats around 4-4 and a half, total cut and its still about as low as it was from cuttin the first 2. So idk ill give it a couple days to let it settle then ill cut another one.

you gotta remember you put monster truck tires on it too after cutting the first couple times. that'll raise it up a little bit.. i cut 1.5 coils on my car, and with 185/60/15 tires, it looks like it sits muchhh lower than your wagon...

Another classic Turbobricks-look car. I love it.

thank you sir!

Do you guys think paint match bumpers would look good? Ive seen it done on these cars in different colors but never really in white?

imho, the black adds a nice contrast to the HUGE white wagon body.. plus, it would be hard to match the bumpers exactly with the o.g. paint. again, imho, i think the accordian style bumpers look like poo when they're painted. if you had the 90+ bumpers or an SE bumper or something, color matching them would make it look good..

Sounds like the springs aren't seating or the bumpstops are holding him up. Cutting coils won't raise a car by itself... ever.

If you cut rear coils, it can raise the front based on redistribution of weight and vice versa, but that is a only rationale explanation of any scenario that would involve spring cutting and part of the car being raised.

Springs are seated, and isn't hitting the bumpstops yet. I cut 3 coils in the rear the first time and haven't touched them since...I dont understand it either, but i will cut another coil this weekend when im free again, an cut bumpstops in half!
