My hands are aching (almost Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and I haven't been able to work on mine, it really hurts me being unable to do it, yet I need the rest... But it has been a faithful companion and haven't given me any trouble for months.
I know the pain. The list for TGM is ever changing. So much i want to do and more that i need to do, but i don't have the money for it. And if i get a job to acquire the money for the work, i lose the time to do so... It sucks. If i were to have a nice big shop with a full tool kit and a car lift i might be better off. Outside in the dark cold rain is not my idea of fun work.
Yeah it seems the more I get done with my Bronco, the more I need (want) to do!
My entire interior has been redone, exhaust, paint, etc.. I think I moved into the engine stage... but I don't have the time or money to work on that yet . Plus I would probably need another vehicle if I were to try and swap cams or heads.. I think that would leave my Bronco sitting for a while.
I could spend anywhere from 50k to 150k on TGM. I wouldn't want a Ferrari or Lamborghini mainly cause maintenance can't be done your self and the clutch for a manual would be incredibly stiff. I think having a big ugly beautiful 78 green & black bronco attracts the correct attention. It would be easy to use up 150k having the entire thing restored from the tire stem caps to the antenna.
OldGrey, that paint looks good. Was it done in a paint shop or at home?
