Nice find!  Hope you get it running without too much hassle.

Wow I didn’t realize they were that valuable. I pulled them off. If anyone wants them make me an offer. They have a 4 wire connector. I don’t know if the motors work because I had no door card and therefore no buttons   My other car is a sedan so I don’t think they would fit anyway.

Are those m3 mirrors??

Yes. The glass is in poor condition. Some chips in the paint. Pictures of the worst damage. 

It’s stripped of good stuff and loaded up for scrap. If anyone wants any wire connectors or other bits let me know asap. Probably hauling it away mid morning tomorrow. I did pull the head just to see and yea it was a mess of bent valves

Upgrade on the Ranger. New downpipe from CVFab. They seem like a Ford only performance place?  Dunno I’ve never had a Ford before. Fit great, and wow is it nice working on something that isn’t rusty. 

I live about 30 mins west of Wausau. So about an hour radius depending on what the job is. Anything from service work to new houses to generator installs or commercial work.

Long time no post!  Zero to update! It's been sitting in my garage with a replacement engine and transmission right next to it.  I'm just never going to get around to putting it together.  It has a lot of replaced and nice parts.  Read through the thread for all of it.  It has some rust and will never be a show car but isn't really that bad.  It has so many replaced and nice parts, my intention was always to just use all of the parts on my arctic grey sedan someday.

Eibach suspension that works good.

Solid mounted rear subframe.

The whole rear suspension is gone through, adjustable lower control arms, M out ball joints top for outer top and bottom.  3.15 LSD (I think this was factory, in 93 the cold weather package came with heated seats and LSD and no traction control because it wasn't ready yet).

Custom exhaust sounds really good.

The engine in the car has a broken timing chain, replacement engine appears to be working, it came from somebody doing a swap.  I can't guarantee it works though.  The engine in the car has Stewart water pump, Dinan TB, new coolant hoses, newer starter, Dinan ecu chip, and some other stuff.

Comes with a replacement Getrag transmission from the same place as the engine.

Anyone interested?  It's taking up too much garage space and causing marital strife...  Make me an offer.

I bought a truck to replace my work van that is falling apart/also too small.

2020 Ranger XLT with 6k miles.  I was actually going to order a new XL very basic options but when I went in after selecting options with the salesman it rejected the order because they are apparently out of engines for 2023.  So I started searching used and found this one locally.  Complete with old man appearance package, chrome, running boards, etc.

Replacing the old Sienna.  It served me well starting my electrical contractor business.  But now it's rusted so bad the receiver hitch was falling off, the sliding doors don't open without the perfect touch, and it's very tight fitting everything in it.  Major pluses are that 10' conduit fit down the middle.  280k miles on it and it still runs great.  My parents bought it when it was a few years old with 60k on it so it's been in the family a long time.

Sorry I am a disappointment

I wish you great success in your transition to fatherhood. If things go sideways you can always go out for milk.

You busted me!  Jk mine still isn't done yet...  Where did you find another rwd 2nd gen sienna?

I'm working as an electrical contractor now and supplies are a big issue.  Simple stuff like breaker panels, meter pedestals, breakers, etc.  And if you can get it the prices have gone up by 50% just this year on many things.  Construction is really busy right now so it is probably due to both supply issues and increased demand.

Watch out with that, SEAM3N courtesy of me got two kids once upon a time.

I think I've got that reserved.  Four kids and one on the way.  Bring it!

If they could somehow get near the Wausau area I would take 2. 6'er for Gilber and 6'er for transporter for each.

@jc43089 would a needle gun be gentle enough to chip the existing paint off the seam sealer but not smash it like play dough? Even then I'd recommend that tool for most of the paint/rust removal as well. It's great for any scaly rust areas and harbor freight has 2 sizes available.

Not sure, I would guess poor results but maybe it would work.

Seam sealer will not sand.  it It is soft and turns to melted shreds and smears if you use a wire wheel on it too.  It's very difficult to remove.  It's about like working with the undercoating.  After my experience messing with it I would recommend leaving it alone lol.

But it's measured in smiles/gallon...

That X3 stamping in the B pillar.  Sharp.

.... Is this dial up or what?...

I'd take 2 but I am up near Wausau.

Fun fact.  I was chatting with the driver of the Warsteiner E30 M3.  He bought that car in high school for $4500, it had been in a minor accident which he repaired.  He said it has 300k miles.  What a great weekend!

Be there tomorrow!
