I couldn't handle the wait...

[ssolypop]

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.

Nice find, but expect it to keep you busy well past getting your 6g lol. That lady needs a lot of late night love! But it'll be great once up and running... and able to pass inspection How much you want for the after market crate seat?

I love the size of the gen6. A goldilocks sized trail rig, IMO.

However, the width of a FSB is extremely enjoyable. I will always love cruising in my '79 even when the G6 takes over the bulk of the off-road adventure duties.

Lucky for me there is no inspection in Florida. Gonna be straight piped and burn all the fuel it can I'm not taking any lowball offers on the seat. It's too nice.

Removed the Engine yesterday! Now to tear down the donor 351 from my cobra and replace the crank. Just one small step in this massive project.

Do you ever log the time you put in on these restorations ?

*looks around nervously
I don't. Mainly because it is probably like camshaft bearings in a donor LS engine (if you don't look at it it's ok. But if you look at it, it's gonna be a clusterf...k).
When I do them for others I charge by the job/content and not by the hour.
On some things I am far more OCD than most and the customer should not have to pay for my time if it is self-inflicted extra time spent on something.

Not going to religiously but it would be good to know a rough number. Just from this I have about 8 hours into it.

So after much consideration I decided that my '90 bronco was too rough to fix. So I bought this nearly identical 1989 in great condition!

Well damn... was looking forward to the build

Congrats on the new one though

Don't worry, there is still plenty of work to do and mods are on the way for it!

Very nice.

What was wrong with the ‘90? Rust, mechanical or all around?

Literally everything, ghetto wiring, rust holes, everything mechanical needed to be refreshed, can't find interior parts. Now it's just gonna be a parts rig then sell it.
