Added a few photos
Just noticed I didn't get a good photo of the rear seat from the front. It's stock ginger hounds tooth and it's in great shape except for the top edges you can see in the photo.
Trying to be totally upfront to save my time and yours in my opinion these are the only things that need attention.
Install front door panels and rear interior panels
Gas gauge works intermittently, test good when testing the wiring. Replaced rear and front sender and still not working all the time. I have a new switch if that's what it needs. Lost interest in fixing it. Every other switch and light works
Oil pan gasket weeps a little. Doesn't drip. I have the gasket, lost interest in fixing it.
Exhaust pipe metal is fine, mufflers themselves have some small holes. Really can't notice it, but I can.
1975 Ranger
About as rust free as one can be without nut/bolt frame off restore
It was in pretty good shape when I got it.
I wanted a bone stock Bronco just like it came from the factory and that’s what it is. Except for lift and tires. Wind still whistles thru in places.
I haven't done anything under the hood or to the running gear. Motor and running gear are in good shape.
Rears were cut when I got it. Replaced rear ¼’s
WH 2 ½ suspension lift (and all that entails). Everything that was recommended by Paul B. was purchased and installed.
302, auto, ‘70s dealer installed A/C
New carburetor
Front disks added
Paint was faded/repainted original Viking Red
New interior except for front seat covers (rear is still original)
Interior door panels and interior rear ¼ panels are needed but I have everything but the panels themselves.
All new bushings in body and suspension
New weather seals everywhere
New 31X10.50 BFG KO’s on stock wheels, with spare
New front floor pans no rust on rear pan
Any other body panels that were rusted were replaced
New chrome trim all around, door mirrors are stock. Drivers side is good, passenger side is not so good, I think you can tell from the pictures.
New headliner
Lots of odds and ends hardware and plastic parts were replaced
Happy to answer any questions
Thanks
