The Bronco rebuild over 5 Years

This is on day one 5 years ago. Had been sitting in a shed for 11 years before I got it. During the rebuild I have had 2 heart attacks and now have end stage kidney failure. Hence the reason for taking five years and also why you good people have not seen me. Just been to plain sick to do anything.
