My 2003 Ford ranger

[Forzda]

I bought this truck almost 2 years ago ,it had 160,000kms on it when I got it , it now has 185000kms and 2 canadian winters

the winters have taken their toll on the truck ,so with the drivers floor , tailgate ,door bottoms ,fenders and rad support rusting or rusted out ,it was time to make this truck last a while longer

A lot has changed on the truck all due to rust issues .
list of parts changed either rust free or new steel
tailgate new , rad support new , fenders new , drivers door rust free, rear doors (mazda B4000) rust free(50 bucks for both), rusted drivers side floor new steel . there is no rust on the body panels now . I also replaced the grill

what started the transformation ,

and this

rad support in

body work in progress

All painted up and out of the body shop

----------

I will have more pictures of the exterior and the interior shortly , need to clean the truck for a photoshoot

I'd forgotten how badly road salt attacked sheet metal.

Nice resurection! You going to add Mazda chrome around the side glass? Appears the studs for the clips are in place on the rear doors.
