Starting to look like an Exploder again! Nice work.

The only problem is that core support. But you don't have to see that from the out side so its fine

Ok Rusty's Towing is on there way to pick up my truck and take it to Mickie's Muffler and break to have the new radiator put in along with some other minor **** I have been meaning to do for a while! All said and done $565 towing and all. Exhaust work done too!

 

[410Fortune]

sure

close your eyes

picture a 97 explorer sport, in bright purple!

now remove the grill and there's your picture!


LOL no seriously, I got this grill for free when I was collecting parts to fix my 96 truck with iodentical damage

I came across a guy here in Denver who used to work for Besttop, they were comissioned by ford to built a 97 sport convertible.
They did
the 97 sport and convertible top never hit the street.
Bestop dismantled the 97 explorer with 0 miles on it, this guy got to take alot of parts home. The grill and doors sat on the side of his house for 5-6 years, until I came along to buy the fenders...he gave me the doors and grill for free

I can get you a picture, but the grill is now in storage behind my shed... I will have to dig it up!

97 sport no frills explorer grill in perfect shape, o miles, $0

shipping probably around $40 to Alaska I am guessing if I can pack it up small enough

Looks like you took the pass side suspension out? damaged?

[storlied]

His radiator.


It's always a sad sight to see your truck ride away on a flatbed or tow truck...

I will second that, I broke the clutch cable in three places on my 87 GT, it had to be towed away to the shop, it almost made me cry...

 

[99ex22]

great work! I admire all your hard work.

great work! I admire all your hard work.

Thanks I will have my baby back tomorrow, it will be looking like some **** for a while but I am fine with that. A little white spray paint will help tell I get it to a paint booth. My F'in mom is making a contract, stating that if I get in a fender bender that is at my own fault that she will repersece my truck and stop paying for the incerence. Haha funny thing is my name is on the title! But what ever makes her happy

 

[WhiteLimited]

Ok got the truck back and its drive able, I'm going out tonight. Russ says he will tighten everything down and throw a hood on it. We will see if he does that...

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

I'm at village in with my mom and better half when I get home tonight if I go home I will update you all!

Very good, and you can take your time finding the right bumper etc. The Limited grille was special until 1999, from then on they all were painted. Any non chrome grille will work for you. I gave $70 for a used Pearl White grille, which ended up on my 99.

 

[WhiteLimited]

The hood should be on in a few hours...

Its a Red hood haha =-D

It also goes in for an aliment tomorrow. So tonight it will get dropped 2in in the front TT
