Not sure what I'll do with this one yet, but I don't have to push it anymore!

since my one good running and drivable Bronco has turned into a project in the garage and I haven't been able to move a Bronco around in over a year without pushing or pulling it with a tractor, I finally decided to address that problem today with one of my other ones.
its a poor rusty old 69 I've had almost two years. I did get it running shortly after I got it but had to quickly shut it off when I noticed gas pouring out of every seam on the carburetor. so I put her away in storage....until today.
with just an nos carb, a $24 fuel pump and some fresh gas she fired right up and purrs....
the brakes don't work but I spent a good amount of time tooling around my little trails in the back yard and she didn't miss a beat, runs great.
just glad to have one less to push now.;D

Oh...here's the "off road" pics.....

That rear bumper really kills the departure angle! ;D

Migs....you have the coolest stuff!

At least you have a "tractor" to move yours;D

Nice to see you got her running. Throw some brakes in her, BYOB's 2 weeks away.

not as bad as you think. they only bolted the top so it will brobably just fold right up!;D

brakes or no brakes, I was having a blast. now I want to get out there with the tractor to move some trees out of the way and clear out some more trails to use.

You know you have those sweet power lines just across the street.

I'll come get you if you get stuck;D

I should do the samething at my place. I need a carb for the 6 cyl. A fuel pump as well. I use a bobcat to move my Ponys around the property...

OK, so I'm thinking I'm going to start making this one more capable of some off road fun now and then. but first it needs to lose the doors and the really bad junk top. so I pulled it in and started in on it. doors came off easy enough but not so for the rusty top. cut it in half so I could peel it forward to get at the rusted bolts on the windshield frame. then squished it all up good with the tractor for easy transport.;D

Congrats on getting it running.. Nice rig for sure. All Kinds of potential. Look forward to your end result..

now topless and doorless...for good. now I gotta get some fiberglass door inserts. but first I have some sheet metal work to do.

Nice start to a trail rig. Gonna cut the fenders??;D

I like the "stow and go" top. Good idea. ;D Looks like you are in need of a new windshield. I have a couple extra if you're interested in one.

 

[migs]

thanks! I'll keep that in mind. have to look through my extras to see what I have.

 

[tasker]

very cool Migs! gotta get it done for the Maine-uhs in august!

 

[migs]

got some more done today, but boy...sure looks like I got my work cut out for me on this one!

Literally!

Nothing you can't handle.

You got this Brian! I see the roll bar will be repurposed from the 70.

 

[migs]

No turning back now, gotta do it!

not sure which one the roll bar will end up in yet, but that was the best place to put it for now to stop tripping over it.;D
