My best friends brother had a prett sweet bronco when we were kids and I wanted one ever since. My buddy from work showed me an 88 that was for sale for 1100 bucks i wanted it so bad but my wife at the time was such a heinous bitch I didnt bother trying. My buddy ended up buying it and I was jealous. It had issues and i helped him fix a few. He drove it for about a year and the transmisssion gave up. Turns out it had a car filter in it so it had to be significantly over filled to actually draw up the fluid. He was going to shit can it and I jokingly offered him $150 he said $187 and we have a deal.

when I first got it in august 2015

I figured out about the trans filter and changed it. i was able to drive it but the transmission had already been hurt. The little bit i was able to drive it scared the shit out of me. every bushing was shot and it was all over the place. I decided to atleast make it look better while it sat in my drive way til i got a "new" transmission. I cut off all the hackey junk and ditched the body lift I made raduis arms and a rear bumper. I got a free hood and some hacked up fenders for $50.

I found some alcoas for cheap and cleaned them up so ! could ditch the 15x14 enkeis. also sold another project so i was able to buy some super sick FOA shocks. I did my best building an engine cage without a bender and C&T the beams converted to uniball and extended them 2" and did some plating. I also broke the bell housing off my "new" C6 cause im a retard. it got glued back on with alumaweld :ROFLMAO:
