Thanks for the offer SACHEM, but I was teasing. That 4x4 sticker is coming OFF.

The top is fiberglass. I only speculated that it was from a Scout because it fits so poorly, it doesn't line up. It may very well be for a Bronco. I may be interested in getting rid of it if anyone wants it. I think it would fit if you fiddled with it some.

Those wheels are pretty cool. I may take the 35s off my 89 Bronco and put on there, but I'm for sure keeping them. Sorry, y'all.

35's? Oh you definitely will want to look into power steering and maybe even a power brake setup. I think Travis has worked through putting power steering on his 6 cylinder…actually I’m sure of it. Maybe he will chime in and give the details of what you will need. Are you planning on staying with the 6 popper or is there a V8 in it’s future?

Oh as for the wheels...I seen a set once that had been blacked out between the spokes...looked real nice.

35s and power anything are very long term goals. I have 2 other Bronco projects so this one will stay drivable until one of those is done.

Short term goals, in order of importance:
-new shocks
-double check brakes, they seemed alright last night, but I want to be sure
-figure out which set of seats I want, secure them (the set in there is not so secure at the moment...)
-clean up the electrical, do a little rewiring, the lights flickered out on me once last night
-clean the tub out, it's full of crap from sitting outside
-take off fake scoop, stickers, all of that junk
-pirate what I want off of the spare doors, make some makeshift door inserts, get door and tailgate hardware
-clean up the glass (a lot of overspray), decide which door glass to keep
-roll bar
-bikini top
-put in other gas tank
-new headlights
-perhaps some liner

That's it until the others are finished. Long term goal list is waaaay pricier!

Nice find

I did a little photo editing, and got rid of the fake vent and the 4X4 Decal

Looks good I like it. Leave the windshield wiper alone and don't worry about the door locks, I like that too.

Well, I had my first "What the hell have I done?!" moment last night. But I quickly got over it. I took off the doors and marveled at the craftsmanship %) :p :mad: . Bolts broken off and just ground down in the holes, horrific fiberglass patch on the door post. Here's the interior pix. The only rough rust spots are the driver door post and a little in the bed.

Someone has replaced the floorpans, albeit sloppily, but they'll do for now.

I am looking for door guts if anyone has spare parts. I need door mechanisms and tailgate latch. The stock bumper is for giveaway if anyone wants it.

Jessica Simpson needs to get the hell out of my Bronco!

Blame me,%) I put him up to it, and thanks for making me laugh my a$$ off over it.;D About your Bronco, I'm pretty sure it's the one my Wife and I saw in Lenoir City last fall while heading to Gatlinburg, and now that I have seen it up close, it's still a good looking Bronco, and a good find. When I get ready (when my wife gives me permission) to purchase another project bronco, could you come along and bat some eyelashes to get the price down for me. My wife has pretty eyelashes too, but apparently she doesn't know how to use them, or she wouldn't have settled for me;D .
