The un fortuneate End of the Bronco II Project.
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2015 9:27 pm
I am setting here watching the end of my B II project as it has finally been determined to be economically UN feasible to complete this project.
The B II has been setting out in the weeds next to my shop and the other day I noticed a tree near the building was looking diseased. I called an arborist and after consultation it was determined 3 trees would be removed.
The trees are next to the B II so the B II must move. To shorten the Story I found that while the vehicle sat animals got inside somehow and made the interior uninhabitable. I tried to open the drivers door and it was rusted shut. The inside is completely trashed. After trying to move the rig it was found the rear brakes are locked up solid. I looked underneath and what used to be clean and good looking metal was all encrusted with rust. Brake lines drive line every thing would have to be gone through to even get started back to a drivable vehicle.
At this point in life I need to set some projects aside so the important things like my health can be better addressed. It wasn't an easy decision but the basic shell of the B II was sold today for Scrap. I am keeping my 2.9 motors and all the real fancy go fast stuff as I just have to much money in them. I am going to finish the monster motor and maybe then look for another body or maybe a ranger and stuff my motor in it. Either way priorities are changing and it has been a heck of a run. I will still stop by from time to time but it is time to ramble on...
Good by B II and farewell.
