Thanks! Not much to report, I have around 1500 miles on the build and around 1000 on the Magnum, so far so good. I've been enjoying not tinkering with it for once and just driving it. Though, I have started gathering parts for the next step... Here's a pic from a couple days ago:
A little off subject here, but I had to share - recently sold my old beat up 2000 ranger and picked up a new daily.
2003 Lightning, 59k miles, all stock! So far I absolutely love it. It was a 900+ mile round trip to get it Saturday, well worth it though.
It will get a few subtle changes - silver center caps, shorty antennae, aftermarket stereo head unit - but will stay mostly stock as long as I can resist haha.
I have my sights set on other things right now and really don't have much time to drive the car between work and other things. I would like it to go to a great home. Asking $15k, price negotiable. This thread explains much of the build details but if anyone has questions feel free to PM me!
