-- that looks like what I did to my Nissan

From this

Good luck and keep up the work! I just may have to do that for our next vehicle... if I can find a good candidate!

So is the Frame just diamond?? or is it bent over in any places? Looks like the hit to the left front just pushed that side back as compared to the passenger/right side... if so, it should be a fairly straight forward frame fix.. then replace some core support and repair some innerstructure and boom - you're bolting on pieces again!

 

i'm hoping to just have to straighten everything back out to be able to bolt everything up. i don't want to replace the core support or the bracing behind the fenders. i'll definately know more next week.

 

hrmm.. yah - ya might be able to get away with it.. it won't be exactly like it was, but would likely make due.. just have to compensate with the aiming of the headlamps and gaps may be a little off... the sheet metal under the left headlamp looks pretty busted/bent up...

also, it looks like you may be losing a bit of refridgerant from the condensor... see the staining/dark parts in this pic.. but since you said the A/C still works, it could be from that trans/ps cooler (whichever it is) in front of the condensor ...

 

ya it was spewing tranny fluid like a cut artery. i looped the lines for the time being. but ya the a/c system still has pressure and is blowin cold.....

 

Nice little project, bud. Those Rangers are pretty damn nice little trucks.

 

ahhh, gotcha -- knew there was somethign on there!
