    After a long and great 8 years, it was time to part ways with my S2000. I picked up this little 1996 Ford Ranger XLT to take over the daily beater duties for the time being. I was looking for something that was presentable and had no dings/dents if possible. Saw this and jumped on it as I knew I could most likely improve the paint on my own, which I did. It was dull and gray instead of shiny and black. I obviously wasn't going for anything major correction wise, just wanted to bring back the shine it once had 18 years ago without putting a whole lot of time into it.

    Looks GREAT!!! I also purchased a Ranger and need to compound/polish it soon. These Rangers have a tendency to fade.
