project mayhem... the 4 day build for Katemcy

I picked up a street legal 84 Bronco 2 for $550 tonight. 6 cylinder, 5spd, 4 wheel drive with a failing brake caliper. Ted and I began stripping it. Some of the interior is gone. It got too late to do much.I'll be building this with mostly used parts lying around the shop and trying to get this turd wheelable for under $1000.

She needs some mad fender trimming to clear some used 33's. I've got various coil springs to give it a couple of inches in the front. Rear may or may not get lifted. Probably throw some extra leaves in or a block. If I find a cheap D30 with 373 gears, it will get a SAS. That may damn near kill me, though.

Depending on how much time is left, the top will be chopped to look like a fullsize without the fiberglass shell or get a simple roll bar and loose the sheet metal to the windshield. Not sure how it will get painted. Currently it is a hodge podge of flat black, dark blue, and peeling tan paints.
