Any forum mechanic members looking to make some $ working on a Bronco....

[Kim]

As regular readers of this forum know, I am having trouble locating a good and honest mechanic on LI to complete work on my Bronco. They are often unfamiliar with the truck and often don't know how to or are not inclined to complete work to the level I would like. Meaning they get 90% of the job done but never completely right.

Now that I am about to tackle some larger work, I would love to locate someone local and very familiar with working on these trucks to do the work.

Is there anybody out there looking for work?

The jobs I'd like to tackle include:

Major

1. Front Disc Brake Conversion (and items that make sense to do while in there)
2. Installing Tie Rod and Drag Link
3. Diagnosing left front vibration and making necessary repairs
4. Possible Tranny rebuild


Minor

1. Get the fuel gauges working -- probably a wiring issue as fuel tanks and sending units have been replaced

2. Get the heat working -- heater core, heater hose changed, probably something minor

Again, I am not looking for something for nothing and will pay fairly for this work...I just sooooooo want it done RIGHT!

Please PM if you are qualified and have any interest.

Thank you.

Love to Kim, but as you can see, the commute would be a killer!
Good luck though. Lots of good mechanical-types hereabouts. Hopefully someone of them will have some time they'd be able to part with.

Kim,
Give him a call. He's a top notch, honest and down to earth guy who know's and own's these rigs inside and out.
Good luck

You may have to trailer your bronco out of NYC to get it done right. I would go with any of these guys recommendations in your area. You may have to be ok with being without it for a while, but hopefully it will be worth it.

Life is good again!

Thanks, Jim!

Jim is a great guy and has worked on my 73 a few times and will be working on it again very soon. Solid guy, solid work.

Your bronco sure is clean. I love the stock look, hope all goes well with repairs

 

[Kim]

Thank you.

Jim definitely is a Bronco love guy. He has mine right now. You won't be disappointed with his work Kim.

I was very comfortable handing him the keys!

Now I have to contain the excitement of getting her back with all her improvements!!!

Exciting!
