I couldn't handle the wait...

[Raptor.Tremor.Bronco]

Like most of you guys the waiting to get our broncos has been hard to say the least. Ive had one bronco in the past and it was an '87 Eddie Bauer that I bought new. So in short I bought this '90 EB yesterday to keep my mind off the wait and have one badass unit when it's done. My goal to have this thing mostly functional before my 7/13 res gets here. It's definitely seen better days but she's got a whole lot of potential.

Nothing wrong with that. When I do things of this nature, and people ask, I just tell them "it keeps me from drankin' liquor, and chasin' women". Enjoy.

Nice idea to kill the time while waiting. I see that bit of rust on the door frame area, how's the rest of it look?

Definitely looks like it needs a little....

What the hell is that? Outlaw II on the back and steelie up front? WTF?

Nice find though. I wasn't a fan of the late 80's bug lights myself. But did own an 84, 93 & 94. Gotta love the FSB

Edit: Just noticed the front seat, or lack thereof LMAO

Well, maybe make a build thread... so we can watch it while we wait

I did something similar, bought a 1995 F150 and slowly rebuilding it. Getting 33's installed today.

Great find. I had an ‘89 green Eddie Bauer. I still miss it.

I love that the drivers seat has molle attachment points.

Boy, that thang looks like it reeks of ciggies and hot beer!

Nothing like a good garage project to keep a man occupied and yes, it'll keep you from drankin liquors and chasing loose women.

right after you get a proper drivers seat, what do you plan to do with it? All the way down yonder in Miami, there's no rock crawling. You gonna build a swamper?

Maybe a lift, tires, wheels, body work, get the underparts tuned? I love that paint scheme. Not even sure I'd touch the paint. The natural matte patina of years of paint neglect is actually pretty nice.

Well I'm in the process of restoring this 76 Bronco while I wait.

Relatively stock build, wheels, tires, small lift, more power. It'll be a cool street cruiser but I like to go offroad at high speeds too so I'd hope it can handle some of that.

She's got holes in the roof, drip rails are crusty, door jambs have holes, rockers have a couple and a few select bubbles. Nothing too crazy for what it is, the frame is nothing but surface and the floors are clean along with fenders.

It has the matching outlaw on the spare tire carrier. The tire is absolutely shredded.
