Well got it assembled, windows go in on the top and front next. Then I'll bring it home and start putting the rest back in.

Been busy working on the assembly. I have a deadline before I lose my work space so that is why the updates have been few & far. Next week i will do a bigger update with photos.
got everything in both doors installed (including new power window kit)
horn, radiator, alternator, starter relay
new hood struts installed
battery cables and ground straps
and now the wiring dash part done next week install the dash and start running the rest rest of the wiring. (unfortunately I have to go away for that thing called work)

also lots of sandblasting and painting small parts as I need them

Moving right along. Well, over a couple year stretch that is!
And like the others have said already, Harbor Blue is an amazing Bronco color. I saw a few of them back in the day (very few though, it seems) but I don't think even when new they had that nice of a shine to them! I guess they were "pre-faded" along with "pre-rusted" by the time they got to the dealers.

I wonder what that "accessory group" was referring to? Seat belts and a radio maybe? Map light? Any other unusual things you found on it when tearing it all down?

Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to you ditching work and posting more pics.;)

It’s beautiful, such a clean build.... FYI on the sideways pics... just edit the photo (crop etc) on your phone a bit and save it before uploading...seems to work every time.

Well It has been a good week. a hour here and there and this weekend got to spend a good 8 hours on it. Here is a the short list.

power brake unit installed ( need to add fluids abad bleed)
choke cable installed
gas pedal and cable installed
front & rear bumpers & receiver hitch installed
headlights & turn light installed
hooked up speedometer cable
liftgate hydraulic struts installed
some tailgate internals installed (waiting on new latch assembly)
battery, starter solenoid, cables & grounds installed
air cleaner sandblasted and painted. (need to fabricate a new support bracket since I moved it to passengers side because of the power brake unit.

This week I will move onto running the wiring and start the weather striping.
