The Georgia Peach, the rebuild of my 85 ranger

Motor leveled



Trans out put checks out

Gona use the Toyota mounts since they are super low pro.drivers side won't be so easy tho.





Start of the passenger side mount plate







Had to notch for the drivers side mount as the motor is offset an inch for some reason



Keep in mind o had the mount twisted the wrong way lol

Had to extend the stock drivers mount 1.25

Plate tacked in

Front view before gussets and welding





welded up the motor mount to, now i get to bevel the back side and weld it up





on its own weight



and that brings us up to today. got a new center link and idler arm so i can see if im gona have to modify it for the oil pan.

Awesome build thread & glad to see your back to working on this!!

geting there ..i remeber way back when i saw it at springfling ...i love how much rangers tuck

1ST gen. sheet metal PLEASE!!

let her be the '85 she is.

I love both Shannon, but I've had this style front end for 10 years..

James glad to see you back on it, i am with shannon though probes and Gen 1 grill go together!

James, forgot how good Probe's look on a Ranger, You know I'm a 88 down nose man, but what ever you decide I will be willing to love on it at a show. Haha. Got the rest of the peach paint left from the cab. Could even hook you up with some tweed Ranger bucket seats, for the time warp look.

Lol we will have to see, I still have my tweed door panels and headliner lol.

nice build. i wish i had a grlfriend that knewhow to weld.

She's still learning ;)
