I'm pretty sure that I'm done with the work on my 96 Mustang, for now anyway.... I have a 96 Bronco in my driveway with the rear suspension taken apart. I wish I got the Bronco in the garage before I started messing with it

Broncos, even with the 44 TTB, wheel surprisingly well... and you can fit 38" tires with just trimming and no lift.... Make sure you build real bumpers, though - the stock ones are quite flimsy.

(who had one of hir bumpers ran through a telephone pole... without even the slightest hint of a dent!)
I have a 1970 Jeepster Commando I have been working on as a project vehicle.
Today I also added the repair of my 1992 Jeep wrangler with an unintended dip into some water that was bit to deep. #6 piston rod is broke and slapping the inside of theoil pan so Now I have 2 jeep projects.

Look for a cherokee to pull the engine from. most are driven by soccer moms and retired with good engines.

'93 Jeep ZJ. Of course it's hard to distinquish between restore and just keep it running.

I bought a junkyard 67 mustang a few years ago. it was a fairly complete car but was basically just good for the shell. I disassembled it and had it media blasted. then I took it to a friend of mine who owns a body shop where I used to live. I told him there was no hurry just work on it when you have time that way I can just pay a little at a time and not one big bill at the end. well that was about 3 years ago. as you know any body shop that is good has very little free time. anyway it is done now I had him paint it viper blue and undercoat it with rhino liner so the underside will be better protected. I do not have any pictures of it since it has been painted because I have not seen it yet. I moved to iowa 2 years ago so next week I get to drive out to utah and pick it up. I have a 2006 f250 quad cab lariat turbo diesel and a 22 foot haulmark trailer to put it in so it will be a fun trip. the only bad part is it is still a shell. it was a 6 cylinder and I plan to put a 5.0 that I bought off ebay out of an 89 mustang. I have the machine work done on it and need to asseble it. it also still has the 6 cylinder suspension with 13 inch wheels that I can't even get tires for so when they restored it they put it on a rotisserie and removed the suspension so I have all the v-8 suspension here so I need to put all the new suspension components and new wheels and tires on it when I get out there should be fun. here are a few before pictures.
this is my other truck and trailer that I used to take it to the media blaster.
that is after it was media blasted and primered. and that is the last I have seen it. it will be like christmas when I get out there. I had him paint it all viper blue so it will need some chrome and pinstriping or something to tone it down a bit but I am excited to start on it. I powdercoated the axle and I bought new v-8 springs and spring plates that I will be installing as well as all new front springs and shocks. should be fun!
