Hi. I am a new member, and it's my Bronco:
1987, XLT Fullsize Bronco, C6 trans, 5.0 EFI V8 W302, 33'' tires, rear bodylift 2''.
I've been looking for big old US car and only 3 nominations been treated:
1. Hummer H1 - very expensive for me...
2. Chevy M1009 CUCV - very rare for Russia...
3. Fullsize Ford Bronco - it's rare too, but it's can be finded.
So, I decided - taking Bronco... Many Bronco,s are rusty, with not original parts, selfmade modificated. My favorite models is 78-79, but after long searching i found its in not bad condition. It's change many owners and, I think, has hard life.
It have little rust and minimum mechanical troubles: some rusty rear fenders, not work a\c, knocking hydraulic lifters (at cold engine), not work park brake. I restoring my car now, but already have some mudding:
I have some photo - but soon there will be more
Bronco at parking lot in night:
Changing lines in hard Moscow traffic (photo from my friend's LR Def)
Bronco in action - mudding in forest
Look at front lights - it's non-standard technical solution of previous owner - xenon lenses Hella without outer glass cover. Road police in Russia don't allowed to install "non-factory" xenon lights, because rippled cover distorts the light flux. But if there is no glass cover - no problem. I will install regular lights.
Strange fact, sometimes by the way, for some reason, such cars are associated in Russia with gang wars in 90'ths (big, black, powerfull - favorite cars of mafia - BMW, Mercedes G500, Jeep Cherokee and it) :blink: . Well to **** with them.
At this while all - there is a repair, repair, repair. And off-road modernization...
P.S. By the way, if you want, I tell in section "Non-Bronco Pictures" about another interesting car - a heavy military russian tow/cargo truck KrAZ-255B
