Bronco update. It lives!!!

[Hobe]

Well today I finished up most of the work on the EB and was ready to finish the rollcage work. It didn't take but a minute to get the EB to fire up, first time since Sept.<br><br>Well it was time to start testing some of the new toys, first I cycled the steering to bleed the NEW P/S system. All seemed good so far, no leaks on the homemade hoses. <br>I swapped in a Nissan P/S system, used all Nissan parts, box, pump and reservoir. I was able to find an easy way to solve the hose fitting problem on this swap. <br><br>Just the fact is was running meant that the new electric gas selector valve was working on one tank. That will have to do until I can finish the wiring. Well I pulled it out for a quick test drive around the yard and then pulled it into the garage.<br><br>Now I could get to the rollcage to finish the welding, as soon as it was finished I got it ready for painting. I will try to get it painted in the next couple of days.<br><br>I have a couple of more items to install and a few loose ends to tie up and it will be ready for new tires.<br><br>Here are a couple of pics from today, one of the EB and a couple of the finished cage.<br><br>EB pic<br><br>rollcage pic 1<br><br>rollcage pic 2

good job on the cage . Your bronco looks good to me right now, but to convince the non-bronco lovers you're gonna need that paint. Keep updating us.
