Thats a beautiful restoration. Nice job. I had a '94 Explorer XLT. It was a great SUV. I didnt realize until now just how boxy those SUVs were. But that makes them all the more appealing.
Nice work on this old Explorer. It's cool that you can do Katskin leather on these 30 year old Fords. Katskin leather is better than OEM in a lot of applications and this is no exception (Ford leather isn't all that great, IMO). Not showroom perfect but definitely dialed in on the mechanicals and nice enough to start car talk at the gas station. You went deep into the rabbit hole and it shows. New vehicles are pretty much throw-away after 100k miles and it's nice to see someone bring an old Explorer back to life.
302 Swapp that puppy! Definitely super clean! 👍👍 Good score 🤙
This has to be the cleanest Explorer from this era
Looks good man!
Thank you!
