Car people please step inside. I need some information about restoration costs.

I vote with smschulz on this one - if you don’t do it all yourself, you can dump 3 - 4K into it and have a truck worth 2k.

Yeah... this doesn't seem to be a good idea, economically, unless you do a lot of it yourself.
It's a 93 Ranger... do you really want to put that much into it?

The '93 Ranger ranger is 26 years old. I sometimes buy insurance auction cars. The sweet spot for value seems to be around 8-10 years old. You could buy something in the 2008-2012 range pretty reasonably and put about the same into fixing it up and I think you'd be ahead of fixing the 93 Ranger.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
