brooklyn bay may find them images disturbing,, it used to be a 96 aerostar,,

it still is.......well, parts of it that is.....

 

[corkey]

you know , if the trans was still in it,, it might still be drivable,,

it'll buff out,,

 

[corkey]

well sorry to say that this one comes to a tragic end,, rust and a blown head gasket finally got her,,
but i am happy to announce that parts of it will live on in this,
bought me a 2008 Ranger Sport 4x4, the lift fits,,

Good looking truck Pete!

Thanks Jon,

i hope the end result is as much fun as the Explorer was,,,

i dont get it. you said the motor was ready to pull, all you needed was a picker, and you had a motor for it. i know, i saw it.

 

[corkey]

i'll get a picture of what is not left of the rockers today,

the road salt was not good to poor Roller

Sharp looking Ranger there Pete

 

[vroomzoomboom]

even more of a reason to cut the rockers off, and weld sliders on. it hasnt gone out of your yard, so i how can it get more salt on it? just asking.
