I'm back with parts!

The diff has no tag on it, but after pounding the drums off I was able to confirm that it is limited slip, and since that is correct I also presume it is 4:10, but no way to know that I know of. That diff cover is really pitted though. I could get another off an expo 8.8, or I could order an aftermarket one. I'm interested in one of those aluminum ones with the drain bolt and cooling fins.

The doors are rust free, and are a deep wedgewood blue. No problems there.

Unfortunately, they don't come with door panels or the switches. They wanted an extra $75 per side for those. Yeah, no thanks.

That said, I've got glass, speakers, locks, and window motors. No mirrors, but this year model wasn't 06 or newer anyway.

The driver's side harness is going to need some work, though. Instead of just unplugging it, they cut the damn plug off. I'm just so thrilled about that, (not), so I'll be doing some patch work it seems.

Otherwise, the parts I got are solid and are perfectly serviceable for my plans.

I'm going to try and reuse my door panels and just swap the door handle bezels out. To plug the hole, I'm thinking about getting a white or red LED light to stick in, to act sort of like that marker light on the expo doors. Haven't decided on that, yet.

The rear end is going to get some treatment before going under.

Mustang brake hardware, new bearings, new clutches, and of course new fluid. They drained the old fluid out, so I have to refill it to use it. That, with some new paint and a new cover and it goes under the Ranger.
