I have been working toward building my first project. The problem I have is not failure to launch, but with a kid starting college, failure to afford . I have been buying a few rusty old truck, vans, and waggons to scrap. Picking up motors, and parts to trade for what I will need, or use to trade.
My next door neighbor has been watching me doing this for a few months now, and came over last week. She had a title in hand, and told me she wanted me to do her a favor. She had an old eyesore at her lake house she wanted to get rid of. No strings attached she just wanted this thing gone.
I am kind of impressed with what I got. I havent looked at it real close, but I cant scrap it its too cool, and in better shape than I thought. Their son bought it ten years ago. Did a amature quick and dirty paint, carpet restore. Got it running well, new shocks, brakes, etc. He bought a more powerful Bronco, and its been sitting for three years. Lost interest.
Its 4wd, three on the tree, got a tornado under the hood. Kinda cool. I havent tried to get it running yet. Brakes, and clutch goto the floor. But the tires were still up, rolls free, all glass good.
Has anybody played with one of these? I will post pick later when my wife gets home with the camera.
Your thoughts would be greatly apreciated.
Jim
