Drove it to the gas station. It's like 24 miles round trip for the good gas. Stopped at my bil house and the starter solenoid decided it wanted to give issues. Think it was getting heat soaked. Plus one would hope my old put a new one on it when it was restored but I cannot guarantee that

Same :crazy: .....have done absolutely nothingggg to mine because of time and financial restraints.
Pretty much why mine sits in the garage. I don't have the time to clean it always. Too much to do around the house and such. Honestly if it didn't have the history it did I would end up selling it

So a small update with the nova. Over the last week I have done a lot of thinking and decided that I just don't have the time for a project to the scale of the bronco. The amount of money needed for it in addition it is just not worth it to me.

Instead I am going to focus on the nova. I am going to pull the numbers matching motor out and swap the lm7 into it. Get it running good and all the bugs worked out and then work on suspension. I want it a little lower and firmer. A different set of wheels that are not 14s.

I want to drive it more and and enjoy it. Doing smaller projects like that i have time for not super involved ones like the bronco.

It is what it is but I want to enjoy working on stuff again and the bronco was becoming a stressful project.

Sucks about the bronco. I was looking forward to seeing that finished. The nova will be sweet when its all updated. Looking forward to progress on this!

Definitely understand the time and money part about the bronco. Excited to see you work on this though!

Side note I hate when people put yanko stickers on these. Maybe because I hate when people fake badge stuff.

Ok so I have it narrowed down to hotchkis 2" drop coils, bigger sway bar, 2" blocks and clatracks for the rear. I have the multi leaf since it's an ss and they are newish so I am unsure what I want to end up doing in the rear. Then I have to figure out tire size
