So from 2 cars to 0 in 3 days :fp

As I said, just bought a house.
Don't like debt but at least we had 2 cars paid for and only a reasonable mortgage... i guess no more.

So now we're still renovating and supposed to move kn saturday with no wheels. Going to be interesting.
/rant off

As for the ranger.
Frame is fine, still drives, drove it a mile like that to park it at the new place.
I'll see what I do with it. I still want a ranger that's for sure.
This one needs:
Hood
Rad support
Headlight
Bumper
RH fender
2 passenger side doors
Bed
New leaf
Airbox, coolant and wiperfluid reservoirs
Inner fender,"Apron"
Peobably some more stuff

Also had a hole in the driver side door so all I can  really keep is the left side little door and left fender
..

Part out? Who's going to buy a 300000km motor even if it's in tiptop shape. (Instant start, idles so smooth I forget it's running).
Tranny has under 200k

Project?bodyswap? Trailqueen?
Don't know yet, also don't know how i'm going to get my firewood out now. 
I guess i could rip off the bent steel, put in a spring and have a "farm truck"
 

Ok last rant:

I always said I wouldn't move again/buy a place unless it had a shop/garage. I worked in nice pro shops for work and always only had driveways to work on my stuff. So absolute dealbreaker condition.


So of course we bought a house with NO garage:fp
It's ok couldn't pass up on the nice house and 50acres of playground.

So i guess i'll start building a shop around the 2 wrecks i allready have in my yard lol

Oh did I mention that the DAY after we signed the house I lost my job?

Last couple of months have been... interesting
