Welp,
Though I already started one of these. But, guess not. I got another Bronco last year in August. First time I got taken to the cleaners, but, moving forward, I will be adding pics and such to this thread. There is already a lift, gears and tires done. Working on motor as I type this. I will be adding to this as the days, weeks, months go.

I call him "Silver".. Looking back on the past year, I should've named it "MONEY PIT".. hhahaah

When I first got it.

I will be adding more soon.

Thanks y'all.

Here's some more I had done to it before the freeze core plug decided to guide me on my long , long, frustrating engine rebuild I am currently on. hahaha

Anyhow, the interior was god awful when I bought it. I started cleaning it up a bit. Still have a lot more to do.

This is after

I then decided to replace the interior over the cab area. Rear was coming up but... Ya know. Motor had other plans.

I updated the interior light to a Mustang interior light. Not sure where that pic went. I have other sun visors I am going to try and make work at a later time.

Next up. Rear bumper. Same rear bumper that I had on my 92 Bronco. The guy I sold it too was selling it, So, I scooped it up. Along with some long radius arms and stereo shit and rear mat. Haven't got the rear mat and stereo shit yet.

To be continued. ....

So, those pics of little jobs were done back last year. Which, brings us to the present. Trying to get this motor in and break it in. Then, we are off to Missouri come July 13th. Hhahaha.. No pressure. First install of the motor didn't go well. So, tore back out. Got the block leveled and tanked. Along with .30 over Bore and honed.

It's mostly in the truck now, ran out of time. But, here's how it sat before the current install.

Hoping to have it in today. Praying it fires up by tomorrow night or Saturday. Be one HUGE burden out of the way. Hopefully after I am settled, I can get back to the fun jobs to do on this pig.

Not much done to the motor more than stock. .030 over pistons, cleaned up the cam and crankshaft. New main bearings and rod bearings. Timing chain and gears. Water pump.

Oh, another thing. Found out the PO had wheel spacers on. Not a fan of them, nor do I trust them. So, threw new wheels on. Also, installed a Red Head steering gear box because the steering was beyond scary. hahaha

Before.

After
