The unpainted frame rusting away probably protected the body from rusting. Before finishing off that frame, go to a boat shop and get a sacrificial anode to bolt on, making sure there is electrical contact between the anode and frame. The anode will oxidize away instead of the frame.
Love your videos, thank you for your service. I'm a Retired Army Diesel Mechanic. I was one of few female mechs back in the 70s and 80s. My Gram worked on airplanes in WWII wiring and riveting the wings. You're a breath of fresh air in the TH-cam world. As much as I like the Bronco, I absolutely love the Ranger, what a shout out to your Grams in this restoration. I love your attention to detail and all out desire to make all parts like new.
Surface rust on the tire mount and sway bar are easy to remove. Get a 45 gal plastic drum, a battery charger some arm & hammer washing soda and set up a cheap and effective electrolysis tank to remove the rust. Those parts are totally restorable.
Just to say, off Ranger topic, the Quattro is an excellent buy. It's a genuine classic and with any luck you will be putting work, and your not inconsiderable skills, into something which will reflect the value of your labours.
Love to see the Ranger project! I have my great grandmother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu sedan sitting in our barn waiting for me to refresh and rebuild it! It only has 70K miles on the original 307 cubic inch engine! Much love from Texas!
Sarah, well, Sarah², you're a badass!! Thank you for being damn fun and so intelligent! You set the precedent for women techs everywhere. You're best! Much love from fellow woman-owned Phoenix Mobile Tire & Service, LLC 😁
Love Little Sarah’s hair color… looks very natural. I’m glad I got to meet her at May’s Hot Rods & Hotdogs! Great content. I appreciate that you show your “Oops” moments… keeps it real for we mistake-prone mortals. I agree with the rust diagnosis on the Ranger frame. Looks like salt in the humid air rust to me. Thanks, Sarah. 👍👍👍
The moment you said, "why do I do this stupid shit," I knew I was in love. Thank you for this wonderful feeling. My life's been as rusty as your grandmother's frame. I mean your truck frame.
Your Ranger truck series is probably viewed by a lot of people. Those Rangers are so everywhere that a lot of people can relate to your project build. I actually have a 95 myself. I really like it and it still cranks and drives without any issues still... Thumbs Up!
James May would be very proud of Sarah for organizing all of her hardware. That statement might not make sense to everybody, but Sarah will understand.
Trucks are super useful. You're really going to love having one. I've owned 3 smaller trucks and they're the best. You may want to replace gaskets and seals on the engine when it's out. My '89 Ranger started leaking through the rear and front seals. It had the 8 plug 2.3. Best of luck on the build.
Hey!! It's Small Sarah!!! It goes without saying that there's a big place in my heart for OG Sarah, but it's always a treat when Small Sarah makes an appearance...cutest shorty ever!!
I watched this video about half-an-hour ago - and I’m still smiling! You’re SO entertaining that even someone like me who isn’t that into cars can enjoy it. Thanks, Sarah.
Glad you found the Haynes manual. I looked but the one I have is for the previous gen Ranger. Woulda said you could have it. I've had a few rangers, all but one were great little trucks!
Sarah if you don't already have one a Factory shop manual is invaluable which I am sure you know but I just had to make sure, go with your heart on this one. No one could fault you its your truck and your Gram will approve and have fun
Your skills are awesome for anyone working on Cars & Trucks I have never been as thourogh on anything as You are doing Great work Great descriptions Great Reality
Just finished a frame off restoration on my 93 Ranger. I have had it for 25 years and gave it to my 17 year old son when it was done the restoration. Glad to see you are back working on this project. Can hardly wait to see it completed!
That's an Audi Coupe Quatro!!! Holly molly!! Sarah, most people don't even know what this car is. The more I watch your videos the more I like you Girl. You definitely know what to buy.
Hello, Sarah Squared. Wonderful to see you two together again. 👍🏼😊😊 Gram's truck is looking fine! I'm certain, without having known her, that she'd be proud of the truck, but she'd be more proud of you. Git it, Rock Star!
Ford included sway bars in the “handling package” on their trucks in the 80s and 90s. So that might be why the window sticker doesn’t mention sway bars.
Happy Veterans Day & Thank you for your service. Nice to see little Sarah. It will always be Gram's pickup. Oh, one last thing. Even in jest, don't degrade yourself by calling yourself an idiot or stupid. We all know your the most entertaining and intelligent car channel on YT.
Ok, so you already know I’m weird, but I gotta say, that shot (1:12), of your hotness squatting in front of a bunch of fresh zinc plated hardware, and that drool worthy insanely gorgeous Quattro, just generates wood.
I would definitely put an aftermarket real sway bar on my truck then no swaybar. I put a 7/8 one on my little 72 Datsun truck back in 80 when I was in my teens and it made all the change in the world in how it handled.
It will always be your Gram's truck. It was great seeing Sarah2 again. The sickness ooo, aa, aa, aa, aa was the best thing I have heard all day. Love it all :)
Welcome back little Sarah! Engineering, yes! Hang in there, you can do it! And tall Sarah, nice job! The Ranger is very cool, but the Audi is next level; can't wait! Rock on dual Sarahs!
0:54 most of the people I know (me included) that WOULD take a vehicle down to that level would usually replace or upgrade those components. But ours are usually older and in worse shape.
Of all the YT auto folks, Sarah-n-Tuned is just the best when it comes to being obsessed with cleanliness. It somehow satisfies my inner mechanic quite nicely. Thanks!!!!
The rear anti sway bar is optional, it will stiffen your ride in corners, but will limit your off road wheel travel. The ride will be great with the Bilstien, you won’t need sway bar at all. Unless you’re going to be hauling a lot.
Mr2 vlog day please. Your silliness and awkwardness is some of the best humor around. You're very entertaining, and I appreciate you and your hard work building sand castles :)
Happy Veteran's Day Sarah!! Thank you for your service. We, as a country, are forever in debt to you, and those who served before, during, and after you.
I bet it was super nice having the truck right there to look at when you wonder what somethings suppose to look like it. I’ve actually got my own little single cab Ranger, I’ve got a 2.3L 2wd going to lower it soon with drop shackles and lowering springs for the front.
Finnegan's Blasphemy Tri 5 Chev with a hemi that occasionally runs. If you hang the diff off of the frame and strap it or clamp it to the hoist you could do a lot more in the air. Backs don't last forever, if your lucky it will make into your 40's. Factory hardware for the skid plate is a nut with a metal tab that keeps it from rotating.
Rear anti sway bar will be a nice upgrade. I added sway bars to my 92 f150 XL after 4 years of ownership. Big difference in overall stability. Coffee cup did not slosh all around anymore when driving over driveway aprons. Very stable changing lanes on the highway. I heard you can have a rear without a front, but if you have a front, you need a rear as well.
Thanks Sarah and other Sarah please more Audi content and Ranger too at same time (aftermarket sway bar) where is your new Bronco? why do you love Honda? filming them at SEMA 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Never stop calling it your Gram's truck.. That's the part that makes this so special! :)
I agree!
Agreed 👍
Maybe it should be named "Gramstruck".
Agree
This is the way...
Small Sarah: always a treat to see.
The look of all of that powder coating and that zinc-plated Hardware coming together is fantastic !! OCD approved
Shouldn't that be CDO as is right and proper? 😉
@@beigesedan obsessive compulsive disorder?
Thank you for giving us a fitting ending for the "Tater Tot" with "Little Sarah" !
The unpainted frame rusting away probably protected the body from rusting.
Before finishing off that frame, go to a boat shop and get a sacrificial anode to bolt on, making sure there is electrical contact between the anode and frame. The anode will oxidize away instead of the frame.
In a dry climate like Az would it still be worthwhile to get?
Yes!!! An appearance by small Sarah! Even better than the signature Sarah seat bolster move...
Your doing "Gram's" up right. What a wonderful tribute. Go Sarah!
Love your videos, thank you for your service. I'm a Retired Army Diesel Mechanic. I was one of few female mechs back in the 70s and 80s. My Gram worked on airplanes in WWII wiring and riveting the wings. You're a breath of fresh air in the TH-cam world.

Super happy to see lil Sarah again!
And yay! Ranger is getting some love!
Amazing restoration! This will be the best Ranger on TH-cam.
Just to say, off Ranger topic, the Quattro is an excellent buy. It's a genuine classic and with any luck you will be putting work, and your not inconsiderable skills, into something which will reflect the value of your labours.
the two Sarahs!!! awesome to see you again.
Love to see the Ranger project! I have my great grandmother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu sedan sitting in our barn waiting for me to refresh and rebuild it! It only has 70K miles on the original 307 cubic inch engine! Much love from Texas!
Those 307's are legendary. I took one 140K and it never used a drop of oil.
Sarah, well, Sarah², you're a badass!! Thank you for being damn fun and so intelligent! You set the precedent for women techs everywhere. You're best! Much love from fellow woman-owned Phoenix Mobile Tire & Service, LLC 😁
Nice to see little Sarah again

YAY!!! LITTLE SARAH!!!!!!!!!! I miss seeing the super goof!
Your Ranger truck series is probably viewed by a lot of people. Those Rangers are so everywhere that a lot of people can relate to your project build. I actually have a 95 myself. I really like it and it still cranks and drives without any issues still... Thumbs Up!
Fab video…and small Sarah. Wow. What a treat
Trailer/Tow package? On older trucks that in some cases added a rear sway bar.
Oh snap its little Sarah...and yes her hair does look nice. Going to be one of the nieces ranger's I have seen in a long time.
James May would be very proud of Sarah for organizing all of her hardware. That statement might not make sense to everybody, but Sarah will understand.
I got that reference!
Comming from jeremy😉😉 thats a statement sir.
The one s who watched the old top gear will know.
Fully agree with you.
Saw the haynes in the end.
Trucks are super useful. You're really going to love having one. I've owned 3 smaller trucks and they're the best. You may want to replace gaskets and seals on the engine when it's out. My '89 Ranger started leaking through the rear and front seals. It had the 8 plug 2.3. Best of luck on the build.
Small Sarah.. ❤️ hhhiiii looking amazing.. oh and Nice work on the pickup Big Sarah..
YAY! Ity bitty Sarah! We missed you!
So nice to see "Little Sarah".
This is my first experience with small Sarah. Sooo cute!!
You can totally restore the tire carrier, get a blast cabinet!
Your Gram’s truck is going to be so mint when it’s done. Will probably be the nicest 1994 Ford Ranger in the country!
Hey!! It's Small Sarah!!! It goes without saying that there's a big place in my heart for OG Sarah, but it's always a treat when Small Sarah makes an appearance...cutest shorty ever!!
I LOVE that you're restoring a 90's Ranger!! Great progress!!
Welcome back little Sarah!
Yes the red hair looks fantastic on you Sarah
I watched this video about half-an-hour ago - and I’m still smiling! You’re SO entertaining that even someone like me who isn’t that into cars can enjoy it. Thanks, Sarah.
Thanks a lot Sarah, now I have to listen to that song on full blast at 23:30 haha. Can't wait to see your Grandma's truck finished
Girl, that UR Audi in the background of so many shots is just *chef's kiss*!!!
Great start on the frame! Hardware looks great. So nice to see "Little Sarah" again.
since i discovered your channel , your all over my smart tv ,,you know it's quite relaxing , watching your show , you're the best
Small Sarah looks GREAT!
I love your OCD. That's what makes these videos so satisfying for me to watch! Someone who actually cared about the quality of there workmanship.
Glad you found the Haynes manual. I looked but the one I have is for the previous gen Ranger. Woulda said you could have it. I've had a few rangers, all but one were great little trucks!
Sarah if you don't already have one a Factory shop manual is invaluable which I am sure you know but I just had to make sure, go with your heart on this one. No one could fault you its your truck and your Gram will approve and have fun

Great work
Great descriptions

i spit my coffee out with the disturbed reference, thank you sarah for making my morning.
Hello, Sarah Squared. Wonderful to see you two together again. 👍🏼😊😊
Gram's truck is looking fine! I'm certain, without having known her, that she'd be proud of the truck, but she'd be more proud of you.
Git it, Rock Star!
Small Sarah, have her back more often!😀
Glad to see Li'l Sarah have the chance to bid Teeter Tot farewell. It's been a long journey.
Ford included sway bars in the “handling package” on their trucks in the 80s and 90s. So that might be why the window sticker doesn’t mention sway bars.
Happy Veterans Day & Thank you for your service. Nice to see little Sarah. It will always be Gram's pickup. Oh, one last thing. Even in jest, don't degrade yourself by calling yourself an idiot or stupid. We all know your the most entertaining and intelligent car channel on YT.
I wondered what happened to your sister. And this is the best way to rebuild and upgrade any vehicle. 👍👍👍👍
Yay! Small Sarah!
If you check the Calgary public Library you can look up torque specs for every vehicle from 1974 forward
I did this exact thing to my 2001 ranger. Completely disassembled it, sand blasted and painted everything. So satisfying
little Sarah yea great to see her i missed her sending a hug where did you hide your sister
Perfectionist comes to mind every time I watch your video's - keep up the great work
We miss Sarah red head hope to see her more and thanks for the video and you show me lots of new stuff for assembly keep doing a great job beautiful
The in-your-end-thoughs were strong in this one 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Wow, Nice to see Vertically Challanged Sarah. And yea, her hair Looks Great, along with everything else...
Small Sarah rocks! So cute.
Yay Small Sarah! Miss her! That Quattro you bought... droooooollll...
Little Sarah!! Yay!!!
I love both Sarah’s!❤️🇺🇸👏 happy Veterans Day to all our nations heroes!
Ok, so you already know I’m weird, but I gotta say, that shot (1:12), of your hotness squatting in front of a bunch of fresh zinc plated hardware, and that drool worthy insanely gorgeous Quattro, just generates wood.

It was so nice to see Little Sara, it's been a long time.
It will always be your Gram's truck. It was great seeing Sarah2 again. The sickness ooo, aa, aa, aa, aa was the best thing I have heard all day. Love it all :)
The way you stand at the lift control...A..mazing 😉
Everything is better in double doses!! Very excited about this truck
That's awesome that you are restoring your grams truck can't wait to see it done
Sarah dear, that is a Ford Ranger XLT GT (Gram's Truck)...that truck has a history, never let it go. Love your style Sarah...
Happy Veterans Day early Sarah!!!
Love the choice of music in this video, plus always nice to see
Little Sarah. 😁😎🤘👍
Welcome back little Sarah! Engineering, yes! Hang in there, you can do it! And tall Sarah, nice job! The Ranger is very cool, but the Audi is next level; can't wait! Rock on dual Sarahs!
0:54 most of the people I know (me included) that WOULD take a vehicle down to that level would usually replace or upgrade those components. But ours are usually older and in worse shape.
So awesome to see Small Sarah again with her crazy college schedule, thank you! Love finally seeing some work on the Ranger finally!
I'm so excited for the Ranger project!!! I soooo love those trucks
Of all the YT auto folks, Sarah-n-Tuned is just the best when it comes to being obsessed with cleanliness. It somehow satisfies my inner mechanic quite nicely. Thanks!!!!
Props for the Bossa-Nova soundtrack and your rendition of (I think) Ramble On...
Awesome that you're back on the Ranger. Yay!
Sarah’s new look is sooo cute
The rear anti sway bar is optional, it will stiffen your ride in corners, but will limit your off road wheel travel.
The ride will be great with the Bilstien, you won’t need sway bar at all.
Unless you’re going to be hauling a lot.
Great start to the Ranger. Plus a cool cameo appearance from Small Sarah!
Mr2 vlog day please. Your silliness and awkwardness is some of the best humor around. You're very entertaining, and I appreciate you and your hard work building sand castles :)
Enjoying the Ranger build. It’s prompted me to buy a ‘97 Ranger and start fixing it up.
You have my vote for the coolest Woman on TH-cam. One of the true entertainers, and smarter than most.
Rare to see these in great condition, Always loved that color!
Happy Veteran's Day Sarah!! Thank you for your service. We, as a country, are forever in debt to you, and those who served before, during, and after you.
I bet it was super nice having the truck right there to look at when you wonder what somethings suppose to look like it. I’ve actually got my own little single cab Ranger, I’ve got a 2.3L 2wd going to lower it soon with drop shackles and lowering springs for the front.

Sarah you can get sway bar and other stuff for the Ranger from LMC TRUCK
Sorry I missed your live show. I will have to watch it in full as a replay.
Addco makes fantastic OEM+ swaybars and they are gloss black!👌
Missing the robosweeper in this video. Little Sara looks great with red hair. A rolling chassis is a big step forward great work.
Absolutely love, LOVE the Quattro Cpe!!!! It is my dream car.
Rear anti sway bar will be a nice upgrade. I added sway bars to my 92 f150 XL after 4 years of ownership. Big difference in overall stability. Coffee cup did not slosh all around anymore when driving over driveway aprons. Very stable changing lanes on the highway. I heard you can have a rear without a front, but if you have a front, you need a rear as well.
Thanks Sarah and other Sarah please more Audi content and Ranger too at same time (aftermarket sway bar) where is your new Bronco? why do you love Honda? filming them at SEMA 🤍🤍🤍🤍
