Well, I just got me a new wheeler! 1988 STOCK Ford Bronco with a 302, 5 speed manual trans. She's black, and I've named her B.O.B........ call it what you want, but I'm going with "Battery Operated Boyfriend", or "Boobs on Board". I'm looking to make her my ultimate wheelin rig now, so if you've got parts you're trying to sell, give away, or are gifting , let me know. She's gonna be painted with black chalkboard paint, so if ya see me out on the trails, grab a stick of chalk and "express" yourself! i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/fireheadedone/IMG_1858.jpgi1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/fireheadedone/IMG_1894.jpgi1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/fireheadedone/IMG_1857.jpg

my first wheeler was a 1990 bronco..... 302, AOD, 1356 tc....... I built it pretty cheap with a 2 1/2" lift I found for $50, some 31" M/Ts I picked up on clearance.... mounted them on stock wheels, used muffler I got at work, it always had a coolant loss I could never find.... ended up being a head gasket, by then the motor was toast.....had a bunch of other stuff wrong with it too....rear diff, ball joints etc etc...... spent more money fixing stuff instead of building it up.... could have been a good wheeler ...... it was my daily driver too , needed something to drive so I got my K5 and stripped what I could use from the bronco and traded it for a chevy lumina...... i just put the pics back up on the build thread for it, so if you want to you can check it out poorboy1.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ford&action=display&thread=9054

Well, here's the first of many mods to take place! Not much for making her into a wheeler so far, but she's fun to draw on now! Sanded her down, blew off dust, tack clothed it, then two coats of chalkboard paint. Only got the front end done so far, but it's a start! So stoked! ;D s1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/fireheadedone/BOB%20the%20Bronco/
