Hey all! As some of you know, I have made an Infiniti Q45 my daily driver due to my Ranger acting up and costing me, a college student, way to much to keep fixing. I bought it used and abused and have nothing but dumped money into it. That is not to say that I dont love my Ranger. Under my care, she has gotten the parts and service that she needs and not just a quick fix.
Anywho, I just got the green light to make it a project truck. A couple of things I was wondering:
1) It is currently 2wd. How difficult is it to convert it to a 4wd truck? I plan to put a new engine and tranny in it (someday) but just wondering if it would be worth it. I do live around the snowline and have some sweet trails but if its not worth the conversion, I wont do it.
2) I dont know all of your mods but Im thinkning an inline 6 or a small v8 would be awesome. Anybody done something of the sort? If so, what we looking at in terms of room?
3) I have some pretty decent dings and scrapes in the body. I dont know if it would be easier to order new pannels or have them fixed when I get new paint. Any advice?
Any and all advice will be greatly welcomed. I know enough about my truck to keep her running but I have never done something like this. I grew up in a household of only women so any car talk was greatly discouraged so I never got the experience of working on cars. I think it's high time that I change that! I dont know when I am going to start but when I do, trust me, yall will be the first to see the progress!
