46 CJ2A build

aftermarket seats/frames?

i'm going to do the same but use the original seat frames. long story short at 1 time i was going to restore the rig so i have new seat cushions.

 

I'm going aftermarket, currently I have a set of old van seats that will work but I am working on a trade for a nice set of Bestop lowback seats which should look really nice in the 2A. As of now I am off for the weekend so hopefully I will get to pick up some metal tomorrow and get some work done over the weekend if I can sneak out to the garage.

 

Heres some pics of the finished pedal mounts and master cylinders. Once all the lines are hooked up I will see if there is any firewall flex and if so I will tie the underdash bracket into the dash by the steering column. Also heres some pics of the wheelhouse notch in progress.





Theres more pics in my sig too.

 

Looking great, you will be driving it before long.

 

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a good setup.

Well I hate to do it but I listed it for sale. I cam across a really good deal on a house that needs a ton of work so there will be no time or money for the flatty if I get it. Check out the classifieds for details...

 

Oh man!! I was just going to comment that I enjoy seeing your progress come along! And taking ideas (such as the rocker guards)
If I had the $ and lived close I'd buy it... Shucks Hopefull the next owner will keep up this thread?

 

Well I'm gonna keep at it till it sells and if it doesn't sell then I guess I have to keep it, right?

 

If I may ask, for that price, why couldn't you afford to keep it? I assume it's all paid for and all, how about dormant-inize it for a while?

 

edit: cheers on the house.

 

I still might keep it as I have wanted one for a long time and it really doesn't cost anything but space. The problem is I would only have a one car garage for now which would need to be the shop/storage for fixing up the house. Also I know myself and I would still keep working on it and buying stuff for it which would eat into the time/money for the house and I would rather invest in the house right now. I'll still have my TJ though and I am sure I will get another flatty to build in a few years if this sells.

 

Thanks I hope it works out for us.

 

I was really enjoying this build thread.

 

Well she's gone, it was picked up yesterday Hopefully she will have a good home and the new owner will continue the build up.
