Car looks great! I was watching the BAT auction you got it from. Quick question - did you have to modify the Cusco roll bar you had in your 06 Laguna to fit?

thanks! Can’t wait to see this one.

I did. If I remember correctly, the front passenger foot had to be cut and then rewelded in a different position.

Removed the yellowing/bubbling PPF and it’s starting to get a full polish:

Congrats on the purchase! Been following the auction. I think you did well on the price you paid given the low miles. NFR looks so hot. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do to this car!

Have two young kids (2.5 and 2 months) so decided for now instead of buying a 2 seater for $160k that I wouldn’t get to drive, to buy $100k Coyote Bronco and something less expensive that was a 2-seater to drive when I get a chance. I plan to keep the S until I’m ready to replace its garage spot with a manual GT3.

The only logical replacement.
Is the bronco what I think it is??...a full-size 70s bronco with a modern motor swap???if so, that is awesome.

A first gen bronco with a modern Mustang/F150 motor. It'll look very similar to this except a different color, different motor and different roll cage to accommodate 3-point seat belts in the back. Coincidentally, this one just was built for JJ Barea of the Dallas Mavericks.
