Post subject: | New to Colorado. |
Just moved here from NC. I am a 31 year old former Ford Technician turned geophysicist. I have owned my Bronco for about 5 years now. I have been waiting for a garage to work on it and now I have it. It has been a daily driver until about a year ago when the transmission (T18) and transfer case (Dana 20) began leaking so bad I was refilling them once a week. I have already began removing them. They should be out tomorrow and then I rebuild them both. While it was sitting for about a year, cracks appeared on both quarter panels between the upper and lower (at the seam). I bought it from a guy who did the body work and I guess he used a lot of BONDO. Both door window frames just recently broke (near the windshield), so I have to re-weld those. My to do list is large, but my wallet is small. So for now, I will be fixing what needs to be fixed. A few things I want to do: 1) Coyote motor or 4bt (can't decide) 2) 5 inch lift and 38" tires 3) Cowl hood and repair the body 4) Better seats. I look forward to meeting fellow Bronco nuts. If you would like to see a closer look of the bronco you can see them here : http://s366.photobucket.com/user/JFulle ... t=3&page=1 |

I forgot to add that I have not been able to come up with a name for my Bronco. Any suggestions? |

Looks great, I saw your post on ACB so I know folks have pointed you in the right direction. If you'd like a hand with anything just ask, I'd love to help with the trans. |

Thanks Kinder and Justin. Kinder, I noticed many people belong to both ACB and CCB. Feel free to drop by tomorrow after lunch anytime if you like. I am picking up a transmission jack in the morning to make things a little easier. |
