new bronco FAIL

[bax]

yes I went to look at another bronco. I did not like the one the guy had but noticed another one half under a tarp, kinda in the woods. I asked if I could look and the guy said sure. Well I could not resist, I like shit. Got it home and immediately got that look from both my daughter and wife. They said a few things and went in to the house. Well here are some pictures and "NO" I am not going to rebuild this one. It is a recycler truck.
It has some good parts on it. PS, auto, auto column, runs, "yeah right" d20, d44, and an N case! How that got there I will never know. it's a 74 so I am guessing it has 3.54 gears.
Aint she pretty?

 

[Pedestrian]

$#!% will buff out.
Wish I had the running gear though

Nope, grill and fenders are ate up, so is the core support.

Duh!!!%) %)

I did not need it but I could not let it sit. I still need all the parts you mentioned.

 

[NGABronco]

OK, you need the rear of a tub and you go buy the front of a tub???

How much did that guy pay you to haul the thing off???;D ;D ;D

 

[t.lay]

Nothin yer checkbook can't fix

 

[fatboy]

I would be living in the garage if I brought that home.

 

[69 Fl. Bronc]

Fail fail. You bought it for parts.

He helped me out with fuel money.
I did have a little mishap on the way. I had a Honda drive right into the side of the trailer. Did you know Hondas don't do well with trailers. Hard to explain but he ran into me when I was making a right turn. He got out and told me I cut him off. I just told him to get that jap crap off my trailer! Did I say he was Asian. He was. I dont think he spoke too much english but I helped him to understand a few words he might not hear everyday. The State trooper showed up and the guy got to tell his side and I got to tell my side. Turns out I really did cut him off. Turns out if your in the far right lane and turning right it is possible to cut someone off. That is if the guy is trying to go around you on the right using the bike lane. the trooper had a field day with my buddy. I even asked the guy if he really wanted me to call the cops. I gave him an out, all he did was bend up a fender some and scratch some paint on my trailer. His front bumper, valance,left fender,grill,and even the corner of his hood , all this was messed up. Kind of humorous, I am so glad I was OK.

Good for you bax. Good thing he didn't damage the bronco on the trailer! My 74 came with a N case too. I've scratched my head more than once over that.

 

[NGABronco]

Bax, that sounds like a benbrown story!!!!;D ;D ;D

Glad you're OK!!! I have no doubt you did OK on the EB deal too!!!

Stay off those bike paths!!!%) %)

 

[73stallion]

so you're really gonna do nothing with it? throw a T bucket body on it like i want to do, be a great mud buggy!

 

[bax]

I did pay some money for it. I will make a little, pay for my time and the gas. I was backing away from the deal before I realized it was an auto and had the N case. After I figured that out I snapped it up. not sure what the N case is doing in there or what is inside of it. I am hoping it's a posi

 

[j.blakeslee]

Bax
N case??

 

[Steve83]

Nice score - why can't I find something like that? %)

Did you know Hondas don't do well with trailers. Hard to explain but he ran into me when I was making a right turn.

I pulled a trailer OVER a Honda that did the same thing to me; it was 1 illegal Mexican giving (poor) driving lessons to 2 others, so when I realized they 1) didn't speak English, 2) weren't interested in any police involvement, and 3) hadn't hurt the trailer, I drove off.
