My .02
First I would make sure it's safe to drive. Brakes, shocks, engine reliable etc.
Then I would get the structure sound then worry about cosmetics.
I would look at what you are going to ask your Bronco to do then buy components to meet that mission.
Do you need the best, most expensive offroad shocks money can buy? (I'm not saying Ranchos are the best).
Money is hard earned so try not to get too caught up in the cool factor and blow your wad on parts that are overkill.
It's hard not to go buy the shiney cool stuff but don't overlook plane jane if that will do the job.
I have WH plane jane shocks and they work great for me.
Good luck with your projects and don't forget to holler if you need a hand wrenching!
