Welcome aboard mate! Good lookin' unit you got there. You will find that if you have any (and I mean any) questions, they will be answered here. From the looks of it. You don't need to do much to that thing. Not unless you are getting ready to turn it into a serious trail rig.

Thanks for the welcome aboard and the compliments.

Some details if you have some time to kill or are just bored:)

After looking on ebay for about a month with no luck, a friend of mine found this Bronco listed in the "for sale" section on Jeff's Bronco site.
The seller could not have been a more honest guy. Buying a car on the blind can be a spooky proposition. He accurately described every detail, I was a happy guy when it showed up.

As clean as it looks, it has still managed to make $1500 dollars disappear in the last few weeks.
I had the hardtop repainted, all new weather-stripping, new glass gaskets, new vinyl flooring, and bunch of small misc. items that added up quick.

To answer a couple of questions posted, I am keeping it bare bones stock, going for the "park ranger" look, not going to cut it.
Previous owner gave me 5 stock steel rims so the mags will be gone soon, I need to order some period correct tires.
I plan on driving it a lot, this one will not be a garage queen. I didn't want something too nice that I couldn't enjoy it.

The best, Pete
