Haven’t posted much, been busy yet slow with the car.

Worked on adding 4′ to my garage so I would have space to work and stuff. A LOT more work then I expected, but it turned out great….

I also re-painted the garage too so it looks beautiful now. Don’t yell at me, but I’m using my spare hood as a shelf for now. The extra ’70/’71 back seats are for sale…

My ’78 Bronco was happy to be home after a year of having to sit in the drive way.

It’s been 11 months since the car went off for paint, it’s supposed to be getting color this week, so I decided it’s time to test-fit and organize all the front suspension parts. So I’ve done that. Bought new wilwood brakes too:

It’s like Christmas!

All the shiny new parts:

All assembled:

Test fitting them into the rims:

My Pretty new rims (15×7), now I just have to figure out tires to put on them!

Hopefully the car will actually get paint next week!

Last weekend I used the POR-15 tank restorer product to repair my gas tank.

I didn’t think of it, but I should have got a before pic.

It took a lot of time but probably the hardest part was just getting it all dry on the inside before the last step.

Here’s the inside as it stands now:

Although, I’m not sure what those weird yellow blobs are.

This weekend I’m going to work on stripping the outside and painting it.

So I got the tail light housing back from the body shop yesterday. They were trying to do a good job and took the silver trim off to paint the whole thing, but in doing so they broke the very delicate tabs that hold the trim on. So now I have to try and find a way to re-attach the trim

It’s been a while, but finally my torino is getting some work done!
