• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

This was a frame on restoration and I have included the links to the build for those who are interested. I would attempt to start listing what was done to the bronco but I don't know enough to even start that. The bronco was delivered to me in late march and the only thing that has been done is a roll bar was added and I put in a new NSS. Everything else is exactly how it is in the link to the build. I have put about 20 miles on it since march as it can be challenging to drive. I had a shop pick up the bronco and check it out they suggested the following-
Needs new axel seal in rear( one is leaking but both may need replacing),ball joints(upper and lower) need to be replaced,both driveshaft needs to be replaced, needs new track bar,steering linkage kit. This is what the shop suggested I noticed the following -no wiper motor or lines,aux.tank Is new but is not hooked up (lines have been cut) also the switch under drivers seat needs to be bolted in. Needs upper alt.bracket,no rear seat belts,doors shut tight at the top but at the bottom there is a gap and could use some adjusting.
Other than the above this bronco is in really great condition. No rust. For someone who knows these trucks it would likely be a weekend project. I am truly out of money and tired of it just sitting in the driveway.
Happy to take pics of anything ,just let me know. Here are the links to the build threads.

Thanks to you guys for all the support. This bronco really is so nice. It deserves to be driven. I wish I had the money and know-how. Unfortunately , I'm all tapped out. On the bright side, it's been an incredible learning experience for the future. Thanks!

Yes, it's color code U. It has two different types of metallic flake in it (factory). It really looks great in the sun.
