Be careful with them old rangers mate the price is starting to go sky high for them an parts, nice trucks when they going well, I like them a lot, especially the older ones ?

I bought it off a mate i was not really looking for a truck but he sold me it at the trade in price,  it seems a good bus just the usual rusty wings if I can't find a pair I will cut some cheque plate n get rivet gun out

Use old engine oil better then wax oil ??

do not, under any circumstances, use old engine oil, it is full of metallic particles and acids and is actually corrosive, if you want to use oil just buy some cheap 20/50 and use that.

don`t used mazda wings, the cut out for the indicators is different

give the chassis a good coating, rusty chassis was the only reason I scrapped mine

A mate of mine is ordering me some thin black chequer plate and cutting it to size for me will work out at about £70 to bodged up both wings and rear bottoms of the tub and give me loads of off cuts 

   Bloke builds kit cars and race cars so will do a better job then me ha , think he said he will use sealer and rivets to hold it in place,  I will let u know how it goes,  

How did changing wing go ???

Haven't been bothered to get outside yet,but it's about half dozen bolts and a clip for the indicator or something like that as i done one side a few months back and only takes an hour or so..Got 2 rangers to get through MOT's this week mate so i'll get on it soon enough,well more tomorrow if i'm honest about it..:laugh:

if your changing it yourself make sure you lock the steering wheel or you might bugger up the clock spring cable to the airbag

No but the chap that Katchum is on about has just this last week told someone about his oil leak and it's a seal that is needed but not sure where to get them. Is it a bad leak or is it weeping out?.

He sure knows his stuff and as it goes it was him i got some spare wings for a mk2 off of a year ago and the forums on facebook are well worth getting on Vfr...

Iv just asked an there’s a few answers, ranging from stop steering  leak fluid from the web to changing seal an even a few places to get full part, millers, parts for pickups, an ks international, somebody even said any decent agricultural fitter would sort a sea out cheap if you could sort sizes

 

by all account the fluid is worth a bash, couple guys reckon they had in couple even few years an it’s held tight, for price I’d use that an even order part in mean time, just incase?

Used it on an old L200... probably worked for 3 yrs or more...some silly Bint pulled out Infront of me at a junction and wrote it off in the end?was choked?
