Greetings from Pittsburgh

Greetings and Happy Holidays to all.
Personal ride is a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd, shortbed,4 cyl 5 speed. I have abused this thing since new (tough truck). Then there is the work van (not really mine but I treat it like my own). 2006 E250 van.

The Ranger is starting to show it's age and I think I will need something better that the Haynes manual to repair it, so I signed up. As far as the van goes, we fix the work van's ourself (Boss and I). The 06 is different enough from the 93 Econoline that it replaced that I think I will need some help on it. So far, only the brakes were replaced, and that was easier than the old van(drum vs. discs).

Other projects are: 76 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 76 Honda CB750F, and 1991 Jeep Wrangler(sisters), and the 80 yr old house I own.

I was going to post pictures of the Ranger but all the pics. that I have, the Ranger is in the background.

Imagine that, a Ford working hard in the background, not caring if it get's noticed, just doing it's job.
