Next up, the windows! But not the original ones, ive had these bad boys stashed away in the garage for years. Now's the time to use them! Random pics of the window disassembly: New felt window run channel from J&J Auto Fabrics: ..and installed Going back together, fixed window gets installed into top rail first ...sliding glass in Black rtv in the corners. Yes, this is the way Ford did it. One done Both done ...and installed! Man, this is gonna be awesome! Bronco is at the paint shop 2 weeks this upcoming thursday. So im figuring ill be bringing it home with its shiny new paint job next week! Just cuz the bronco is out for paint, doesnt mean we cant work on it, right? So here we go! I drug out the hard top and brought it to the tent. First off, i forgot how much lighter the 80-91 tops are compared to the 92+. Second, this thing is gross! Windows coming out Pressure washing shows just how bad it was Primer! ...and paint! So much better now! No matter what i did to the doors, i couldnt get them straight enough to make me happy, so i finally said **** it and bought new ones So thats it, body work done. Time for paint! I dont have the room to paint inside, and the black walnut trees are dropping leaves and nuts like crazy, so im not going to even bother messing up the paint job, im letting someone else do that! ...and off we go! Dropped off on thursday, she'll be back home in fresh paint in 2-3 weeks! |
