more prep work today

a few jobs for today
Remove the front section of the tub

The only problem is that Im not sure how to remove the 3 pedals.
I cant figure out how they are attached, but I only glanced at it yesterday
Have to borrow a steering wheel puller too
Ive figured out how the wireing through the fire wall will go but its going to be time consumeing,
Then I can clean out the decades of crap that have accumulated in between the tranny and skid plate
Have you noticed the smell of an old jeep? Mine smells like an oil,grease,musty mix and stinks more the hotter it gets sitting in the driveway,
I want to power wash it away but then the run off has no where to go and the smell will still be here
Maybe I can hang a bunch of those tree air fresheners from itR)
First is to take my son fishing this morning ( hes 11 ) then we will do some wrenching

 

brake and clutch pedal hav a pinch bolt thru the levers under the floor pan,remove bolt and twist and pull the pedal out

 

and to think that i thought i needed a tub

 

Wow, removed everything i had to to get the body off Its only front fenders and the hood now
, E brake, pedals, took the speedo off the dash board and fit it all through the fire wall
Now its all siting in the engine compartment next to the heater box
oh yeah, when I unbolted the heater bob ftom under the hood, the inside in the cab part fell to the floor and revealed a big mud wasp ned nest inside the heater
good thing it was inactive
I think I am up to 15 bees nest so far in the CJ including the other one I found today inside the front part under the windshield
Next is to start rewireing if i can figure out the mess of wires that were behind the dash
The rear lights seem to be easy,
I know i need a new headlight switch and other parts
the fun continues,,
The body should be here next weekend

 

Have you looked up behind the dash yet? That's were I found most of the wasp nests. Some were still very much active

 

when you get to the wiring, a new wiring kit is only like $350. well worth the money to avoid it catching on fire. nice project. good luck.
