I am excited to be part of this forum, and more excited to get started on my 1987 Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition.
My first car was a 1987 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer, purchased in 1993 with about 70k miles on it. I drove it through high school and collage, before giving it to my sister and buying my first new car. Now 17 years after giving it up, I miss the hell out of that Bronco II and had to get one for myself on my 40th birthday.
Looked online for a while and never found one I was wiling to take the chance on. Until this beautiful Bronco II came up for sale on Craigslist, in Sisters, Oregon. I bought it sight unseen, and sent a family member to pick it up for me.
Unfortunately, the tranny died 18 miles into the 100 mile drive to the storage destination, so now its at a tranny shop getting a rebuild with some small upgrades for durability and longevity.
Not sure what will come next, I still haven't even seen this car in person since I live in another state and will keep it in Oregon where my family lives and I travel to often, usually having to borrow a family members car when I am there.
I know I'll do paint, while it looks good in these pics, it has oxidized significantly on the hood and roof. Will also do wheels/tires, and likely a small lift so I can put some bigger shoes on it.
Looking forward to being part of this community, thank you in advance for welcoming me!
