Hi guys finally finished my ranger that I bought from swarm (great bloke) this was the ranger that was fetched in his spectacular mad max comp photo. After stripping the old paint work did some minor repairs painted it in a royal blue gave it a good rub back added decal which I bought from eBay then gave it a clear coat rubbed it back again then gave it a nice thick final couple of coats and she was done, the front and back screens are from an old lexan ranger i bought about 15 years ago so body was very well used was going to bin it but then found some use for it :)
I’m running a sports tuned tamiya black motor, fully ball raced, a black radshape chassis and lancier wheels added a roll cage and a wild one drivers head which I bought from beetle lover. Hope you like her all comments are welcome.
cheers

The Ford Ranger is the best looking 2WD Truck Tamiya has made in my book! Mate your looks Awesome!! A top job! Wheels look great!
It would be very cool if this Ranger and my long pajero could kick up the sand side by side!! I will jump on a plane mate so see you down the beach!!
