Greetings from a future turbo Ranger owner
#1

Bought my truck back in October 2021, got it running in may of 2022, now I'm working to turbo the 84 2.3.
it's been an awesome adventure rebuilding the truck, then swapping in a Mazda r2 5 spd, now building each part I need for the turbo swap.

I've already finished an aluminum intake, and I'm currently working on both a fuel cell, and a turbo log header.
Maybe i'll post some pictures if anyone is curious.

I'm also Looking around for an explorer rear end, so I can swap to disc brakes.

I'm completely self taught, and I'm now in my second year of metal fabrication college. 
My Truck is almost 2x older then me! thought some old timers might get a kick hearing it put like that!

Any knowledge is incredibly appreciated, thanks in advance!
