 Nice, hows the interior?

I have a 99 I'm supposed to strip for the other projects. Having a hard time it is so nice. Tranny is bad, reverse rocks but forward will not pull at all.

 I know, having a hard time. Every time I go near it I just start it up,let it run for a few to circulate then I leave it.

That's the 4.10 LS supposed to go in my 5.0 project. And the seats. I did buy an arm rest for it, simply missing.

It is rusty at the rockers but they all are if they are from this area.

 Explorer sports are perfect
They have the perfect wheelbase for 4x4ing
They are cheap as snot because everyone wants 4 doors
(no 3 door SUV from Ford ever holds its value)
Sport is lighter then 4 door so it is easier on the transmissions and gets better MPG

So many options for a Sport
If I ever got rid of or wrecked my BII I would build up a Sport, little more cab and cargo room. I prefer the Gen I sports because I love the TTB but the 95+ sports are cool too!

Thanks for sharing good luck with it!
