Finally finished ?

Or at least i think i am.The water pump along with the lower rad hose,new thermostat and one heater hose was changed about a week or so ago and finally got the motormounts ,plugs and lifetime wires done yesterday.What i thought was a power steering hose turned out to be the power steering pump leaking so another is going to replace it.Along with the above we noticed a inline "switch" on the AC was leaking so that was replaced and two cans of freon i have cold air even tho it's winter here.Also checked the front wheel bearing and it looked it was freshly lubed but we decided to repack it anyway.I think the only thing left is the right door,seems like some of the things work but the door lock was unplugged,now we know why,when you unlock the door it unlocks but chatters a lot and it doesn't make noise when locking,could it be some kind of plastic gear that is starting to shear off or is it out of adjustment or ?.The right mirror still doesn't work but that was my fault cuz i forgot about it.
One sparkplug on drivers side had a lot of carbon like crap on it but the rest looked good,the new plugs made a difference in idling and i hope better gas mileage.
As soon as i take some pic's of it i'll find a place to post them to share another Ranger.This is a grear site and i enjoy it.
Thanks.
