BillyRay59 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Another thing the PO spray painted white. The horn cover. I started cleaning it with lacquer thinner. A tedious process. Will post pic when done. Here's a pic of the horn cover cleaned up. I used Lacquer Thinner and a small bristle brush. Then Purple Power and water. Finally, a spritz of Armor All. Not great, but not white. Top of it is not white, but daylight makes it look that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are going to be doing a lot of the TLC on it, but it will be well worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 More white! White hub caps with white letter tires!! White on bed & tailgate. Maybe a reaction to the 'murdered out' craze we saw a few years back? White must be angelic or 'pure'. I guess the PO can afford a $.99 can of spray paint but not the $4 roll of blue tape?

BillyRay59 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just got my Marti report. Realized that there was no AM radio or bumper. The only extra-cost options were the cloth/vinyl seat and power steering. And one no-cost option, the exterior sound package. The tires listed were standard.

BillyRay59 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 So no radio on the Marti report makes some sense of my Bezel. A pic of how it looked before I took it apart, a pic of the 2 pieces, and a pic of the part number. Determines that it is a radio delete bezel that someone drilled/cut out to install a radio. If it wasn't for the bezel job, you would think that it came stock. Radio, speaker, and antenna look factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyRay59 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Found my buildsheet. Part of it was stuck to the floor. I've pulled many buildsheets out, but couldn't save part of it. I wet it, but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Gary, do you have a pic of the buildsheet from your 1981 Ranger you could post? Sorry, but that's the one that is in many, many strips. Didn't take it out of the seat as it would fall to bits. Don't think I even took a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
