I haven't done anything to it since I just picked it up yesterday and it pretty much sapped my wallet for the next 2 weeks, but I did get some photos for everyone. Here are some of my favorites. The rest are in my album.

I started my truck today & found out that Rustoleum's engine temp gauge doesn't work. That was nice to know...

Pulled out the glovebox to get to the dash pad nuts. The two on the passenger side, no problem. The one over the glovebox, no problem. The two in the center, well the one lower down was fine but I'll be damned if I can find the other center one. Tomorrow I pull the dash pod and see if the last four give in. This week-end the dash from Connor gets installed .

didn't get much of anything done today, a few bolts taken loose, and that's about it...
after I go to bed, and get back up today, the interior comes out, and goes into the back of the bronco for safekeeping, and then the front clip starts going back together...

I worked on the brakes. I have to replace all the lines going from the proprotioning valve back. Better now then when I'm going down the road and it blows.
