Hello from Victoria, BC

I have been lurking for a few years. I am currently doing a refit on a very interesting 2003 Ford Ranger Thunderbolt. I found the truck locally and it is in very good condition for its age. It was originally sold in Courtenay British Columbia. I am the third owner and plan to restore it to showable condition. The truck is quite rare and has a rust-free body with original paint. No mechanical issues have been discovered other than a few maintenance items like shocks and ball joints. I hope to use this forum to locate parts and gain technical knowledge about this little truck.

I have only seen a couple of those in my life, and all were when new. Great find!

Welcome aboard!
