Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

Re: Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

Is $1500 a good deal for that? What year is it?

It's a 1991 Silver Anniversary Edition. All leather, all power, rear locker, Hd tranny, over size (40 gallon) tank. It's an EFI 302, a 351 would have been nice, but with gas prices, I'll take the 302. Mechanically it's a rock, started on the first crank. The old guy started it every week and had his son change the oil a month ago. I Dyno'd it this afternoon and everything is right. High Blue Book is around $3850, low is around $2250. A door is going to cost me $250, the one on it works fine, just ugly. No idea what I'll do with paint. Maybe I'll Line-X the whole thing and use it for a fishing rig and rock crawler. The removable hard top is a nice feature too.

Thanks,

Brock

Obviously a really good washing is in order. Get it washed up and post pictures so that we can actually see the finish. Right now all I see is green! You have to uncover the paint in order to evaluate the finish. Then you will be better suited to plan your method of madness. Looks like a fun project if you ask me!! That Bronco has the potential to become the star of the Extreme Makeover forum.

That's what I was thinking, what better way to learn. Everything else has to be easier than this.

Sorry about the pics, thought I had those right. Did you just right click the photo and copy the URL from the properties?
I thought I copied the URl from the full size pic in the gallery. Thanks for the Upsize.

I'll get her hosed off and clean this week, then attack!


Thanks,

Brock

I resized your photos so we can better appreciate the task ahead of you.

Found this beauty in a field last year, talked to the owner today and drove it home. She needs a little help. It will need a new paint job after the door repair, the hood needs it anyway. So I'm thinking, what better way to learn what's possible and how to use my new DA. I think this falls under EXTREME make-over, but it's not done yet so I posted here.

Other than what I have on hand (last pic) any other suggestions?

Does anyone know the best way to revive the fiberglass on the rear cover?

I see some shine under the moss, do you think it really has a chance?


Thanks for the help, pics below.












Thanks for looking,
