My New Toy

Its a 86 Bronco Eddie Bauer Edtion , has a 302 EFI , Crusie control. It needs a driver side fender , radiator support , hood , door , blinker lense , tailgate (bottom rusted out), and grille that goes around headlight. I payed $300 for her. It runs good. But the tranny slips , so i gotta figure out whats wrong with it, im goin to the junkyard in the morning , and lookin for a good front end , and a tranny.

Future Plans : Body Lift , 33s & wheels , Hunter Green paint , Rhino Line the whole inside , and billet grille

congrats, on the new toy, i see you've got a few now.

beside the front end it looks pretty decent, i dont see any rust down the sides, should be a nice project when you get it pieced together.

have fun with it
