did some welding to the bronco and detailing

[SWIGIN]

this week end i decided to deal with a ''small'' hole i had on the driver side floor on my 79 bronco........small turned into the first 2 pics below.....lol.

then i decided to detail the frame since i was instaling new c-bushings on the front end and rebuild my steering box.

then i eched and polished up the old hurricain wheels.....god i love those old school wheels on old trucks.

the last pic just shows my mig welder and the stand i made for it. its a lincoln sp-175 plus 220v and that thing is great!

.......................but last week i was welding on the bronco and i somehow burned the heck out of the back of my left hand. couldnt even make a fist or bend my wrist down for 3 days.

but now its peeling and feels ok but its still swollen

my buddy made me that ford decal at his shop....i have those on both side rear windows

[SWIGIN]

i got it all done but i still had a noise....but now it was LOUD

i found this in my 9'' rear....lol

i cant complain, this rear lasted 6-7 years (my 5th in this thing) but the side gear splines striped (3rd set) and took the axle splines with it....just like a atv.

but i have no idea yet where all this came from

edit......this is only 1/2 of the trash i found

[brapp]

ouch that sucks

[Dirtcrasher]

I have that same welder SWIGIN, works great!!

Looking good, Makes for great patches - nice for auto panels or fatter stuff too....

[SWIGIN]

no doubt, i have used new 110v mig welders and they cant touch the 175 plus.

I know this is an old thread but I found some old pics of my bronco from 14 years ago when I first bought it and thought I'd add them to this thread.

Playing on my MX track.

It had 8'' of lift when I bought it so I added the 39.5'' tires and the Hurricane wheels.
