operation crazy horse **warning** ot!!

Well, Since Bill is a bad influence on me...

This weekend Josh,my sis and myself went to Bills house friday night/sat morning..got there 4;15am. Saturday morning we all got up and headed out at 7am for the other side of greensboro nc. by noon I was the owner of a completly rust free 93 bronco.



Joshs "titty pink" cc rocked the whole 24-25 hrs driving!! HE is THE man for helping out with driving,ridin,and pushing the "crazy horse" project as Bill calls it.



The engine in the bronco is junk so first I have a different engine from a buddy I hope soon. There are some other things to be done with cleaning etc.
The great part is its from nc...NOT a spec of rust or rot. It is amazing just how nice this thing is. I feel bad for bringing it into the rust belt but I will take good care of him.

Maybe someday there will be a psd swap in the works lol

Looks great Aaron! Make sure you post up a link for us diesel guys when you start the process of getting it back on the road (I assume there will be a build thread?). That'd be a great candidate for a 4BT swap.... Jus sayin....
