Congrats on getting yours home!!! Was it what you expected?
Just worried she won't herself after getting almost a whole new body. She may not look like the picture I have had in my head of her after either. Just really miss seeing her. Youll enjoy this one if the body in good shape. Body work sucks. |

Needs more work but drove it yesterday.

I never thought the bed would have gotten MI cancer so bad, but it did. The only original body parts will be the doors, front fender panel floor in cab area and half the roof before the top. Her engine only had needed a rear main seal replaced and new radiator. She still needs a front end alignment, but can't do that until I get her back. |
Pulled the '78 up to the shop, brakes not working very well, pads were shot. Noticed the hub was loose so pulled it and inspected and repacked the wheel bearings. Now I'm having issues with the hub. First it wouldn't lock, took it apart and re installed it,( forgot the spring) then it wouldn't disengage. Maybe I'll hunt up a set of Warn premium hubs to put on it instead.

Have not done it yet but it seems that I blew up a brake wheel cylinder on my way home from work this morning. I have a new one laying around here somewhere.

Front end ready for action now, repacked bearings and installed some Warn lockouts that I had on the shelf. Also new set of brake pads on the front. If I have time I'll pull the rear drums and see what is left of those pads.

That stupid thing sat in the same spot for at least two years. It is now missing in action.

Wipers started working again! Turned on the key to run and turned wiper switch to low. Reached under the dash and wiggled the motor and it started working! I'll have to pull most of the dash apart to get to it if it needs changed, so it looks.

Called the dealer where my Bronco's transmission is STILL waiting to get fixed. No return phone call yet. :-arrgh Been over two weeks!
I decided to go with the Ford reman transmission and not Monster.....(I hope I haven't made a mistake!) I think I'm having separation anxiety! :-X16 |
Had a guy ask when I was going to put a for sale sign on his bronco.
Oh and Monday I replaced the wheel cylinder that took a poop early Monday morning. |
Going to get it out of the garage and run it to work today.....

I got my new carpet down, and my re-covered seats put back in. Should be back on the road next week after 3 months in dry dock.
