Project: Butt Hurt

Name is Phil, I'm currently working/building on a 94 Ford Ranger, I bought the truck so I could daily drive it and haul my tools around for work, but one day the little 2.3 that couldn't decided it didn't want to be around any longer so it **** it's self Didn't think the trailer would be all that heavy but I'm sure it was, the trailer is loaded with carpet squares



After I helped work move some of the "light" stuff from are old location to are new shop is when the 4cyl wanted to quit, so few days after the motor blew I decided to pull the motor and make something out of it











Now that the motor is out the fun has begun


Getting ready for the 302 and C4 trans

Awesome, I'm excited​ to build this truck, I want to keep it all Ford but I also like the LS motor, I do have something up my sleeve so once this build gets a little further I'll reveal what else I'm doing with the truck, so far all that's done is a axle flip in the rear and ordering DJM "Dream Beams" in a few months

Got home and spent about 45 mins in the garage and took the antifreeze/windshield washer reservoir off the passenger​ side fender and completely took out the factory wiring harness from the firewall forward, going to be removing the extra metal on the fenders and pulling the stock motor mounts out either tomorrow or this weekend
