i think it just sucks....

 

a mechanic did it.

 

i have driven by this guys house for years.
he lives down the street from me.
i met him and he is a retired mechanic that builds rat rods for fun.
he works on the Willy's for $25 hr.
a very cool guy
and he DEFINITELY knows old engines.

 

this is a poster from his club
pretty cool

for 25 bucks an hour....
i can spend all afternoon.
or i can drop it off inna morning.
and it's done after work..

 

hot rods go fast i guessR)

 

Albuquerque Rumblers CC and the 4 corners Rumblers CC, I was going to go to that show this year but I stayed home due to rain.

 

yo patrick
when i installed the new air cleaner and connected the hose (that had been cut)
and tighted up the big hose
as well as put a gasket on the horn where there should have been one.
no more sucky noises!

 

the wind made some noise but this is what the Sports Futility Vehicle AKA Slug sounds like.

 

well
i got a quote of around $400 to have glass installed in my koenig top.
then i found a meyers 1/2 cab for it for $200 delivered that is only missing one piece of glass.
i am getting the meyers , fixing it up and running with it.
i like the idea of the 1/2 cab because it is less space to heat and i can put stinky stuff in the back. i.e. gascans etc.

 

i have been wondering this for a long time.
do you guys think $1650 was a fair price for this jeep in the condition it was in when i bought it?
i realize it is too late to start crying now
but i AM curious.

 

OH YES
now that it runs good and doesnt make sucky noises i love it!

 

From my limited knowledge, I'd say that was a good deal. It ran, didn't it? Needed all the usual tinkering, but you got it all done in record time, you should be proud! I really wish I'd done the same with mine, just got it running and driveable instead of ripping it apart. Live and learn.
