Just a quick note of introduction.
I work in Lake Charles, La on the J-Stars program as a Systems Tech and Tin Banger. Good work and good pay which allows a 4 day work week and 3 day weekends. Gotta love it.
Some years ago I bought an 86 FSB 4x4 from a co-worker with little mechanical ability. The timing had jumped and after his repeatedly trying to crank it, bent valves were the result.
I took care of the heads and got the engine running in a good strong condition, but as the Bronco hails from Michigan, has a serious rust problem that will not be denied. I took it off the road as gas prices rose and body/fender parts started to fall off. lol
So, I'm the proud owner of a good solid running gear, tight engine, nice interior, but nothing worth saving on the outside.
I kept it thinking I'd run into a viable kit to drop onto the frame, but prices seem to be fairly out of reach.
But, I'm starting to think I just might build one.
Who knows, that may soon become a reality.
Glad to be a new member.
Now to check out the threads.:popc1:
