It's on now. Started at 7:30am sat morning and by 4:00 pm had engine, trans/transfer case, gas tanks, interior, dash, carpet, hardtop and misc stuff out and ready to pull body. Anybody that wants to watch an amateur with lots of ambition but little skill do a full body resto can follow along. it should be entertaining. I'm doing a spreadsheet with all parts used and money spent for anyone interested. Help will be asked frequently of you guys, mercy will be appreciated in your responses.

Cool deal, po owner bought the bronco from someone in Roanoke rapids. No idea who. I'm getting ready to start bodywork. Hope to get it blasted in the next few weeks so I can see what I'm really working with. Right now I know I need to replace 2 floor pans, both rockers, driver side inside door skin, passenger outside door skin and windshield cowl. Hopefully that will be it.

Right on! The tear down is the best part in my opinion. You start out guns a blazin, just don't let the project overwhelm you. Keep plugging away and keep the pics coming!
Good luck Sir! I look forward to seeing the build progress!

Appreciate the support guys. Tugross302, I can assure you that you have as much knowledge and skill as I do. I've owned this bronco for 19yrs and finally decided to bite the bullet and dive in on the rebuild. This site has given me a false since of confidence lol.

Alright. I wish I had the balls then. I really wish I lived close to you so I could come help. We could learn together and two heads are better than one. Plus, if we mess it up at least it’s not mine. Ha ha. Hope for the best for ya

That's right where I was about two years ago. I wasn't even looking for a Bronco when an old friend called wanting to sell his so he could buy a new F250. In a couple of weeks I had the frame being blasted in my driveway and now its driving and almost done. Like Sandman says, take a lot of detailed pics and mark and bag those nuts and bolts as you will be looking back wondering where some things go. I can remember going into my garage and seeing a tub, a frame, a motor, a dana 44, a dana 20, a nine inch, radius arms, a c4, etc, etc, etc, etc strewn across my garage wondering if I would ever drive this thing. I would always try to get something done every day even if it was little. A lot of helpful and knowledgeable people on here that are happy to help you.
