this is a free hard top that was given to me. yes i said FREE!
the sunroof leaked very badly so i patched it up
also was given the doors with it too.

dash clock that didn't work, i replaced with a working fuel gauge and put in a new sending unit so i have a rare WORKING, gas gauge in a cj

all of the work is done by me except the motor work. i'll pay for that to be done
as you can see i've done all of this inside a one car garage. yea its cramped

Lookin good! What kind of motor work you talkin? This rig for muddin or crawlin?

i had the 360 rebuilt and i won't mess with internals of engines. to many tollerances and i don't have the right tools for it.

this is my second project vehicle and i learn as i go.
i'm building this rig to be a dual purpose rig. drive where ever i go wheeling and do all local mud bogs and easy to mild rocks. i know, d44 front but i don't have the money to invest in d60 front. everything i've done is on a budget and i've been collecting parts for just over a year buying whatever good deals i've found. all the metal work i did, i only have about $100 in metal materials. i just keep checking local scrap yard as they sell metal pretty cheap.

i'll be running soa with yj leafs. i know i'll need to purchase new tires but options are limited in 16.5 rims. i also want a radial tire. as it is now it runs down the interstate at 70 mph at 3k rpms and drives straight. i hope it'll do the same when the swap is done. not sure about heim joints on a daily driver though.

Looks great. For anyone that has been around a while, this is Pats old Jeep. We had some good times in that Cj.
