    Getting to work on my ranger

    Still in production phase.... That's an 11" touch screen.... 400 nits, 300:1 contrast, got it for 80 bucks on ebay, it works GREAT so far.... First pic is the foam mold, than the bottom one is it plastered, painted, glassed, thats how it is now, I still have to sand it, bondo it, pad it, and carpet it, but you get the point.... My truck is a stick shift, I've done a Turbocoupe 2.3Turbo motor swap and the T5 mustang tranmission shifter puts the shifter all the way back behind the screen, when sitting it's very comforable by my right knee, you can see the shifter stub sticking up with no handle.... Computer is mounted in the dash itself and covered with panels, GPS dongle is up on the dash in the corner out of sight.... Dont mind the interior, I'm putting in a new dash, new carpet, and some leather seats, it's all dirty and ripped apart right now though.... I'll keep you guys updated.... Thanks for all the help here....

    I havent uploaded new pics of PC in place yet, I will later.... 2.3 because it was drop in for the old 2.3 motor, aside from a few connectors, same mounts etc.... Whats really nice is 22mpg if you stay out of boost.... Plus I have alot of eperiance with the 2.3 and things like a/c all fit in the stock location etc... Little fab work, but barely
