Anything you need to sell that helps you keep your project going- all the better! I can't believe you actually got it back after all this time. It's got to be bittersweet, but I hope it helps to have the closure.

 

[tasker]

congrats! If you're in need of something to help you get it going, post it. I may not have it but somebody might. Happy Thanksgiving all!

[feitctaj]

That guy may not be the one who stole but if you can get Rummy to do the torture I'll be the guy squeals pretty loud.

Hell yeah sell what you need to get SB1 back in order! I am stoked that you got her back in whatever condition! Good for ya bro!

Here's some pics of what she looks like now.

Notice the chrome thingy on top of the tailgate.

My 289 emblems disappeared sometime after the new paint job.

As did the hardtop.

I now have a nice hole in my hood.

Spaghetti under the dash.

Armrest was yanked without the use of a tool.

Overspray from painting the rollbar.

It even got some detail painting with a brush of course and since the lenses went missing he brushed orange on the bulbs.

This is causing me some serious grief. Where the hell is my vin tag?

They even removed the vin tag from the dash. Nibbled at it with pliers and cracked the heck out of my dashpad.

Nice treatment to the frame horns when taking off the bumper.

Lots of my wires under the hood are hacked or gone altogether. Someone decided that original painted valve colors were not the right shade of blue, get out the brush! Oh, that's not my Holly TA.

Before (notice the new 1G alternator).

After.

I'll end on a good note. Here she is sitting between friends.

Unbelievable. What a mess, but glad you got it back. You can get a replacement VIN tag from Marti Auto Works (http://www.martiauto.com/).

Here she is sitting between friends.

And right where she belongs

I look forward to seeing her back in the condition she deserves, and I am so glad she made it home.

All in All after 2 years, it doesn't look all that bad.

I had a car stolen once, and when it was recovered a day or two later, it had Much, Much more damage than yours. Well they drove it through a building, in a smash and grab.

 

[tasker]

good luck, glad it's home now.

so do you have enough with the new parts to put it back to where you need it? it's almost like someone knew your truck and took off what they wanted for their own...

 

[Dirtyboy]

Its sounded like it was a total reck by the way you described it before. Its not to bad...but nothing like having it back. Congradulations. By the way that is a 1979-1982 Ford Mustang factory hoodscoop. Good find, bad sheetmetal work.

blood boiling but glad you got her back!

 

[Revelation]

Glad you got her back! Even with everything missing.
One thing that bothers me about it is that everything missing could be on another Bronco and you would never know, Almost like someone knew what they wanted then just used it to play with until it was found and returned to you.
Did they also grind the VIN from the frame?

I am sorry that you got it back trashed, but I am glad you finally got it back.

Cheers
Martin

No kidding about the blood boiling! Some people. I just don't get it. How can you do something like that and not care? Oh well. In the end they all get what they've been dishing out I guess...I mean...I hope.

 

[rednck21]

man that totally sucks dare i ask if you had any sort of insurance?

 

[NicksTrix]

i totally agree with this comment. i'd say those parts are still in the pnw on another ride right now. glad you got your baby back. i could be in much worse shape.

Regarding knowing your truck and taking what they wanted.

Looking at the pictures and reading the commentary , I thought exactly the same thing.
Happy to hear you got her back. Time to start making some new memories with her in one form or another.
