What I been up to....
I bought another Bronco and it is under going a restoration with upgrades. This one is all black with a red leather interior. Here's a pic! New paint, wheels & tires. I have also added a sony sound system with XM and sub.

Well, this was going to be the 6.0L diesel bronco, but when I started adding up the $$$ that went out the window. It is now a 5.0L AER Competition Reman Engine with an Art Carr trans. The gears are 3..73's to offset the extra tire size. The only other mods will be the '96 Diesel front bumper and the '89 F-100 rear non-step. The rest of the factory mldg's are new courtesy of the Bronco Graveyard and LMC. I swear by the Bronco Graveyard weatherstripping it always fits and I never end up with wind noise. The new moldings are the first I've tried from LMC but they look great and fit is perfect. The bumpers, grill and new H/L are from National Autobody. The windshield is a Ford item. With the original cost and the mods, etc. I will have around $8000 in this one a little much but the drivetrain has warranty and everything is recon'd or new. My last one sold in a week through a dealer and is now in Illinois somewhere, it wasn't a full update and sold for $8500, so I think I'll be okay on this one. Here's a pic after the paint.
