I hear a carbureted 302 V8 is also a great candidate. I dunno yet, haven't made up my mind. Whatever the case, it would get a much needed tranny upgrade.

A little roller 302 with a stick would be a fun little rig.

I've always liked Bronco IIs too. Some don't like the wrap around rear windows, but I always liked that styling. Saw a High School kid pampering a mint one at a car wash a while back and I had to stop cleaning my vehicle and go drool over his and let him know I appreciated his appreciation for what he had. Alas, I've ended up with Jeeps instead of a Bronco or Bronco II. Have fun with it!

House build is coming along nicely.  They got it dried in enough for the big winter storm that is about to hit.

That’s a large house. Good timing on their part.

so my godson's grandma drove up from the coast for the holiday and apparently the mild vibration in the steering wheel became a crazy vibration so now I'm fixing yet another vehicle. lol.  besides the obvious vibration, I'm also installing new front pads, new headlights and giving the car a good once-over while I've got the opportunity. 

 

had to drive an hour and rent a dolly to fetch it first.

Ooof. You're doing the right thing!

Fixing the folks cars is a matter of course

It's actually a large garage with a house attached.  2400 sqft of garage space and 2200 sqft of living space.  That large flat roof is roughly south facing and will be covered in solar.

That sounds much better for a car guy haha

welp, the vibration turned out to be 2 bad tires with popped cords.  this lets me keep my sanity intact after I rotated them front to back and the vibration got even worse. lol.  2 new tires and the car is back to normal.  filter is changed and I got the front pads replaced, but the rear needs a special tool to retract the piston so that got put off til later.  headlights should be in tomorrow.  oh, and I gotta attend to a bad taillight bulb.
