i'm in california since march of 06 i'm fresh from texas where i lived for 28 years of my life. i'm in my mid 30's and i'm a computer tech trying to get out of the biz and i do video production work which i'm trying to phase into full time. i work in the art dept in the video field which means i set up the props and all that stuff. it's mainly on tv commercials. i'm a ford man and have always driven f150's my last being a 96 before they went to that horrible new round style for a while. at least the latest couple years on the 150's look good again. always wanted a bronco and finally got one out here- where for some reason they are much cheaper than i would have thought- since everything else is more expensive. especially gas which is no biggie. being a truck man you learn to live with shelling out at the pump.
i have a few pics of my bronco. mainly after i got her home and gave her her first wash polish and wax in years. they're not the best pics as i left my digicam back home accidentally. anyhow, she's a 90 xlt. 302. stock lift i assume. high miles but, running strong as an ox. the guy i bought her from took good care of her. she has a new radiator, rebuilt rear end, tranny and ac, battery, starter, brakes and 31*10.5*15 goodyears. i've done the tune up, replaced stereo, pulled top and installed some black carr hoops. replaced thermostat and housing. right now she seems strong so i'm doing as much cosmetics as i can and then i want to rebuild the engine and tranny. i'm redoing the headliner this week myself and also waiting for new side mirrors from bronco graveyard (if they ever ship). then it's new bumpers and seat reupholstery and that's basically it. i also need to find the latch and bronco cover for the tire carrier and replace the turn signal switch (doesn't lock on left turns), and rebuild the steering box. but basically that's it just a few bucks and some time.she does have high miles almost 200,000. so for now i think i have her going as strong and efficient as i can. i just want to keep her reliable while i save for the big stuff. surprisingly though she has been very reliable (except for a coil issue), runs smoooth and strong and has been a nice daily driver. i'm trying to go as stock as i can but, i do want a soft top and maybe a little lift.
anyhow here's a few pics:
