I have been a lurker on this site for the last 3 years, reading and researching every day. It seems there has always been an answer for the questions I was looking at, so thought I should finally document my build in hopes that it will give back.
I have always had a love for vehicles and on the top of my bucket list was restoring one. My journey began when I was searching for a Ford bull nose to restore as that was my first vehicle ever and regret selling it. I mentioned my search to my brother and he gave the idea of restoring the bronco he had back in college. I had totally forgotten about his bronco as it was very rough (even at that time) and was only used to go in the back woods for some off roading. It was used very sparingly as it's road worthiness was questionable at best. He had intentions of rebuilding it and started dismantling it, but changed his mind and so it sat under a tree for 15+ years. I had totally forgotten about it until he mentioned it.
The price was right (free) so the journey began.
First order of business was getting it out from under the tree and transporting it 200km to my place.
