New guy from WI here, finally working on fixing up my 84 B2 that has been sitting for a long time. She is a fairly odd duck at her age so I have come here for technical support. Wish me luck!
Yes it is 2 colors, it has an 89 front fender swap.

Well that makes it pretty unique... did it get the 4.0L swap from the same 89?

No it has the old 2.8L carb v6 with an emission system delete and a comp street cam ;) Just the bumper, hood, grill, front fenders, doors, dash panel (for newer radio) are 89. the rest is original.

Still cool...

I've kicked around the idea of retro fitting a gen 1 Bronco grill in mine. But I dig the first Gen Ranger/Bronco II front end.

I really like the older style grill and lights, but the original front fenders I guess were pretty rotten? swap was done by a friend before I bought it. never got all of those parts though.

Boy my tires are not wide enough lol. Previous owner really dug the "explorer" style front end. the fenders and doors are really solid though. and these doors have power windows (which have yet to work among other wiring issues). It's gonna be an adventure.
