OT: Arne’s post-teener projects, Retirement project #8, 1969 Ford Bronco Options

[arne]

I tried, folks, really I did. Since I sold the yellow 2.0 I’ve looked into 3 different 914s. None were good enough that I felt I could refresh them and still break even later. So I had to look at other options.

“And now for something completely different.”

In fact, it doesn’t get much different, really. Japanese. 50+ years old. Not what anyone would consider as “sporty” in any normal sense of the word. But I think it’ll be a pretty cool project, all the same.

1964 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. All original, with a rare factory PTO winch. I’ve got a lot of new stuff to learn, and I don’t think I can learn it here. It’s been a fun time, 914world is great!

Wish me luck!

If nothing else, the 911 is a potential parts donor for the 914 so logically, there's plenty of 914 content right here in this thread

True, although it was a lot closer to being a donor when I bought it than it is now.

No worries on my part. I have build threads with more frequent updates on both Early Esses (detailed) and the PCA Early 911 Register (simpler). Just milestones here, every 2-3 months until it's mostly done, I figure.

Parts scattered all over the house, awaiting the car's return.
