What Did you Do With Your Bronco Today???

[L\Bronco]

Time to retire the old victrola today.....& more headaches.
Didn't really expect to have to rebuild/reinforce the area. Blasted 30+ yr. old plastics!
Here we go with the JB reconstruction once again.

Hey Jimbo,
we found this fusor product for plastic repair. Its a bit pricey, but it cures hard in 5 min and its the strongest plastic repair stuff I have ever seen!
Cheers

&........welcome to the 21st century.
Some of these modern gizmos are kinda handy.
The Metra and Scorchese kits made the chore a bit easier.

If that stuff comes straight from the Lord, it has to be good!
Will have to remember that next go-round. JB takes a good bit longer to cure.

Hey L, you are right about that Fusor stuff being pricey. Will be a while before I can try.
Finally got my other half in the rig for a trip to town & back.
The Bronc sits up a bit higher then her Exploder, so I have to lend a arm and help drag her up & in. (I see a set of nerf bars in the future)
I don't think she likes that part what with being disabled, but she did appreciate the cushy ride.
Her 1st question- Does the heater work?
No issues there.
Had to replace the autoZone thermostat that came with the vehicle. Began to stick and that was the source of the temp gauge getting up over halfway on occasion.
That and the original 33 yr old Motorcraft radiator cap just wasn't holding pressure right. Unfortunate there's no easy way to replace the spring & rubber in the cap. Oem parts have a nostalgia Cool factor.

It isn’t cheap for sure, but it has saved my a—- a bunch of times!

The old adage about 'Cheap/Good/Fast' applies.
Would have liked to give that stuff a try here where I had to reconstruct the hood release. More JB to the rescue. If that ever fails, will be time to give Fusor a try. Keeping that latch assembly under the hood oiled goes a long way to prevention of cratered plastics. (Previous management no habla el maintenancia)
Time for a campout. Was cut short as rain moved in. Will pick back up on that when it dries out a couple of days.
