1982 rusted out body

[James Daniel]

I just bought an 82 bronco for me and my twin boys to restore. The body is just about rusted out anyone help me or tell where I may could find a body? I have always wanted a bronco and now I have one that I can share with my boys. If anyone can help or give me some ideas I would appreciate it thanks.

everything can be repaired. but if you dont want to work with replacment panels then my next best guess would be to track down a rust free shell from the southern states but after shipping costs it would be cheaper to do the repairs.

@Krafty thanks for advice the patching don't really bother me too much just wasn't sure if I could get everything I need to fix it right. We was just gonna use it to beat around in the woods after we seen all the holes and rusted all over. But one of my boys had a disappointed look on his face when I told them its just too much work to do to it so I decided to fix it up since he is really enthused about working on it. I think he likes it more than I do

You can get body replacement panels from the Bronco Graveyard http://www.broncograveyard.com or LMC Truck http://www.lmctruck.com, or a local auto body supply. If you want to see what you may be getting into, take a look at my supermotors site at the bottom of my signature and look at the topics under, "Body Work 2009-2010". Like Krafty said, "anything can be fixed", it all depends on how much fun you want to have

Good luck,

if full body pannels are too expensive especially because your gonna use it as a woods truck, you can cut the rust part out, use expanding foam to seal the area and bondo over it, i did it on my 86 before i sold it and it worked well. if your ineterested i can try to find the exact procedure again
