G'day... I just picked up my 3rd project and it's the 1st Bronco I've owned. So I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions. 1996 XLT in fairly decent condition. With 177k for mileage, it still runs strong and no exhaust smoke. Majority of work will be replacing front fenders, a couple of lower quarter panels, rubber seals and door hinges. Be seeing you...

Welcome!

Those were great motors. Should last a long time yet. Rust seems to **** these trucks more than anything else.

This beast runs pretty good, the frame and most of the under body is well preserved, but like you stated, rust is a b****. Replaced both front fenders and lower quarters but was surprised the rockers are solid. One less chore to deal with.

Welcome to the forum. Where at in the USA are you from?

up in the mountains of NH...somewhat remote and good high ground.

 

[ryeder]

Was going to ask where you hang your hat, but I see...West Virginia. Pretty country.
