Greetings From Colorado

[Prius Hunter]

Hello all, I'm new here and wanted to indroduce myself as well as my pride and joy, the PRIUS HUNTER (Man I hate that little... whatever it is). I bought this Bronco about 1 1/2 years ago for $500 from a neighbor. Her husband died and everyone she talked to about his old bronco wanted it just for parts. She could bare to see it dismantled so she parked it in front of her house. When some local kids started messing with it she asked me if I could put it behind my fence since I had an rv parking area. I did and asked her if she was interested in selling it. She said as long as it wasn't going to be taken apart. I asked her what she wanted for it and I had no intention of taking it apart but putting it back together. $500 and 1 1/2 years later, here I am. I quickly got to work in getting the old girl up and running, sealing up the transmission, and taking care of the rust spots. Work had to stop for a while due to me having a heart attack, but I'm now starting work on it again. Between this forum, Full Size Bronco, and Colorado Full size, I hope to get suggestions, insights, and advice on the construction of this classic.

Welcome to the zone! Good to hear that a Bronco was saved from being parted out.

It's a great vehicle. I really enjoy driving and working on it. I plan on doing a complete restoration on it. It was too good to die.
