I found a picture of my Bronco just about the time I got it... (mid 80's) The first thing I did was buy a soft top.

As I started to work on it I thought it had too much rust so...I bought a fiberglass body. I would love to have that body! Now embarassed to say, I cut it up and it went to a scrap yard. When I look at it now I think I was crazy to think it had too much rust...

I am wondering if I would still have it now if I kept the original body. Kind of ironic to find this picture, i just installed a soft top?

Its nice to see another bronco brother that has had one EB last through the years. I bought mine in 1984 and drove for a few years before putting a completely new fiberglass body on. I didnt do much more for over 20 years and just finished it last year. Really have enjoyed it over the years.

Yes,I hear you... like I said I should never got rid of that body. Heck... I was still wet behind the ears then, what did I know.

I like uncut Broncos, and... I have my share of uncut projects going on.

Yeah... I actually had hair then... still not done but, at least I have been enjoying it for the last couple of years! Cool that you have those old pictures of you and the Bronco.

I know I have some of it all apart, scattered all over my 1 car garage when it was apart. I even took a few when the frame was painted along with the K-BARs suspension that I put on it back in the day ;). I don't think I have any of me with it though...
