    A large thanks goes to Mike. He came over and helped me wrap this thing up today. We got the tranny out. Next we removed the engine, turns out Mike and I can pretty well lift up a Ford straight 6, it is much lighter than a 302. The rear of a bronco is supprisingly light and for any of you who have hopes that in a roll over the roof will save you, you are screwed, it is all sheet metal there is nothing structural in it..... Mike took the front apart while I removed the rear. Tag team just like that night in Panama with that hooker, Mike in front, me in back!

    I will rag on Mike for being a joo, he removed just about every phillips screw on the thing and kept them. When I questioned him he said "They're good screws" He also knew which screws on a Bronco could easily be removed and which could not.

    I am supposed to meet the guy tomorrow to buy the 8.8

    Turns out a 1984 Bronco, less rear axle, tranny, t-case, tires, and glass plus a few various things Frick had weighs 3,250 lbs. This would convert to $131.20 in terms of todays scrap prices....

    Recap:
    Original investment - $200
    Fuel to pick it up and finally take it to the crap yard - $30

    Total investment - $230

    Sold Rear 8.8 - $50
    Sold tires - $50
    Scrap - $131.20

    So far the total is 231.20 or 1.20 positive. I have guy looking at the steering column for $40 plus I have the drive shafts and front axle shafts. And I get my NP435 tranny, clutch, etc... for free....
