In this pic Johnny Bravo (fab guy) taping off the widshield hinges so he can weld that bar in that goes up inside the 75 frame. Had to cut them out of the old one. Traded a pair of lift springs for a frame from an old firehouse jeep, which comes with another short story we will cover later. lol...

Traded a spare grill for a pair of rear fenderwells that were in good shape. partialy replaced in the bad spots. In the 2nd pic you can see my transfercse shifter laying on the floor. Yea, that to a gummed up frankenwelded mess (why? no idea!) Made a new one, but its not on yet cause he is...

L and R floor pans. Sadly had to part with signature under seat tool box, but it was so mucked up with bondo and an attempted fiberglass job that we just eliminated it altogether. Which also meant fabbing up the seat brackets to reach down to the new floor.

Repair to the cowl on drive side where it was kinda yuckified... see the nice smooth new holes to attach the fenders? (happy) He did this on both sides btw. Yay, new master cyl, which even needed modified (new part!) the top didnt tighten down, had to fab a thicker gasket. Even the new stuff...

Underside with floor supports, (some bought, some fabbed), and painted with choo choo paint :welder:

Rear floor was weak, but I hesitated because a relacement was $425. He made one from galvanised steel, and even put the rolls in for me for like a hundred bucks!!!

Afew pics of the new panels, SWEETNESS!

On a roll now, so I guess Ill post all the bodywork. Heres a couple b-4 pics of Frankenjeep... The PO put replacement sheetmetal on over the old rotted panels with sheetmetal screws, and smoothed it out with some kind of plyable body putty. (what a mess) Oh, and theres some kind of "repair" to...

New fuel tank installed. You can also see in this pic the tailgate and left far rear corner panel. These are pretty much the only original metal left from the cowl back.:shades:

I realize I am prob bombarding my thread with posts, but my pc is a pos, and since it is cooperating today (and I have a day off) I thought I would take advantage of that. Heres a pic or two of the headers I installed (yes "I") I am proud of these repairs since before I owned this Jeep, I never...

Note: my signature does say SOA, but we obviously put them back under the axle, requiring new spring plates etc. Included pics of MORE bombproof motor mounts (I actually did that job myself!) That was one of my first mods, due to a broken mount, probably caused by the terrible angle of the...

The 1st pic is the front core support, the main reason I took the Jeep to him in the first place. It was not there =P and the hole to put it in, in the cross member was not there either (wtf?) still cant explain why. Did the PO replace the front cross member? And if so, why? Anyway, this was...

My CJ has been a living nitemare since the day I brought it home. So far, every repair or upgrade has involved total rebuild, or replacement of every part, bolt, wire etc. Much more than I thought I signed up for. The last couple yrs I have gained a little headway, so I thought I might...

I agree w Flatie. Doesnt resemble Jeepster at all. Being as it is one of my fav models, I am disappointed to say the least. The new Cherokee is something less than awful in the same respect.

coffee and Baileys

stayin home today!

PS love the shifter knob =)
