Looks like you just installed a new motor that runs on food instead of gas.

This weekend was able to get Power Steering installed, the new front seats installed, front roll cage was welded to the back, paint is continuing to be applied, new windshield, and it is generally getting much closer to reassambly next Saturday.

Big thanks to Hockeydad for the new windshield and for Plumbdoctor for housing the Bronco in his driveway (and painting and helping with the power steering.) I look forward to the official unveiling next weekend. Been long overdue!

It already has another home picked out, I'd keep it if it could handle a diesel.

Nothing too exciting. Finally got tired of looking at the bolts in the windshield hold down holes so I replaced them with new chrome early style wind shield knobs.

Yeah, that is hard and something we'll face pretty soon as well. Our Chessie has having severe hip problems. Mind is willing, body it not. Harder yet is we knew when we left him with my folks last summer, it could be the last time we see him in person.

Bought a 120k btu 95% efficient down draft furnace for the garage. 10 years old, but never installed. It'll be a little more work than a hanging furnace, but the price makes it worth it. Add 'furnace install' to my 'to do list.'

Now that's funny, I remember being frustrated by the construction. Summer was Z rated tire time on the M5 and I just wanted to drive fast.

After filling my gut with pancakes and sausage, and then after helping Plumbdoctor flip Mrs. Plumbdoctor's tub, and then after making my girlfriend sit around in front of previously mentioned's house while we looked at some wiring issues on my Bronco-- I was able to fix the latch on the liftgate so each bump doesn't hit "concert-like" decibles of rattle. AND then after that, I was able to do a little shifter project I have been wanting to do to add a little personal flavor to the ride...

This cost me $2.20 to do. Got the ball for free and the fitting inside it was all it cost.
