Hey guys been lingering for a bit and wanted to introduce myself and ask a question.
I recently acquired a 72' from PA and I don't know where to start? I've started a list of obvious needs to get it road worthy and nit pick along the way, but i don't know what to start with first?
The bronco runs and has already been converted to dics. The floor pans are out and will need the kick panels addressed as well. With the pans out and complete access to the transmission should I focus on engine/transmission first and then worry about metal or vice versa? It feels like it would be easier to get mechanics good before worrying about floor pans and kicks. Any advice would be appreciated.
My current list of needs:
-Mechanical
Steering column rebuilt (3 on the tree)
Rear main or oil pan leak (uncertain and haven't really dug to deep)
Carb rebuilt
Rear driveshaft grinding (I'm thinking the U-joint)
I'm sure I forgot something.
-Body
6" Frame repair on driver side by gas tank (rusted out bottom piece)
Kick panels
Floor pans
Rocker panels
Door posts more than likely (be better to do while everything else is being done)
