$350 '86 Bronco II Eddie Bauer Restore.........
well I got me a Bronco II......I paid $350 for it...the only rust spot on it is a hole about the size of a quarter in front of the rear passenger tire.....easy fix.....
Specs:
1986 Bronco II Eddie Bauer
2.9 V6
A4LD transmission
BW1350 Electric transfer case
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Power Lumbar
Tilt wheel
Cruise
What it needs:
- small interior parts/pieces
- transmission
- paint
Plans for it:
- Manual transmission swap
- Manual transfer case swap
- 2"-4" lift
- 32x11.50x15 tires
- 15x8 wheels
- paint (stock colors)
Here are the pictures when I picked it up this afternoon:

100000X nicer than my rebuild, nice find Maurice! I thought I lucked out with the one I found, but it's nothing like this one. I have the bare bones 1986 model, but if you are looking for little parts, etc. I'll see what I can find to help out.

i got lucky that the fiance liked this one....others we looked at she didn't like because it needed too much work on the body for what they wanted for it, or it had the red interior.......not having red interior was her biggest stipulation.......now she gets to spend $500-$1000 on her wedding dress.....it was a deal we made so i could get the BII...

looks good. going to be able to pull that with the ranger? i dont know how much the B2 weights, but i know you swapped to a manual in it, lowering you towing capacity.

Make sure you pull up that rear carpeting to make sure you don't have any hidden rear window leaks...and to ensure no one cut a hole in the floor to fix the fuel pump

My engine is still getting looked at...timing was off two degrees and the plugs were fouled up like mad. The TFI was going to be checked out, but I'm thinking the injectors are messed up somehow. I'm also talking with a guy about swapping both my front doors. The doors on the vehicle now have some bad rusting on the bottom (but not THROUGH the door) and I'm thinking of just changing out the whole darn door rather than have to deal with all the rusting.

Do you know if I have the inline fuel filter, or the can type? I was getting pricing on those and the parts store asked that question....i have no idea as the truck is at home...

Hmm, honestly, I just know the fuel filter is under the driver's side rail and looks like the style in the Rangers...a can with one line in, one line out.
