I found a bronco in real bad shape rusted beyond fixing! And when I say beyond fixing the frame is rused threw all over,no floors in the front,door post are completely gone, the front fenders are rusted off of it, rear quarters are not there because the rusted and fell off, the top a tree fell on it and its bent up bad, no motor or trans no interior. Do salvage what parts I can off of it or try to sell it?

Salvage the axles, transfer case, exhaust pipes, any brackets holding what's left of fenders/quarters, fuel filler neck, glass, bezels, any chrome, park brake assembly, speedometer, dashboard , dash nobs, steering wheel, column, box. How about the grille, any lenses, lift gate, bumpers, roll bars, wiper motor and parts. When I see ash trays selling for $20 on E-bay, I get ill thinking of the some parts off my first that went to the scrap yard.

Might as well salvage it if it's beyond saving.. Specially if the price is right

$400 now I'm going to salvage all the good parts that are left on it and scrap what's left

Sounds like a parts rig to me. You could probably make a little profit from the axles, dash, and miscellaneous bits. Might as well save what you can. Trying to think of anything I need....

BTW I haven't forgotten about the 200 stuff, just haven't made it up your way.

Buy it and park it in the middle of the yard. Yard art. people do it all the time with old farm equipment, its time the Bronco stepped into the realm of rusty yard art.
