Make room we got a fresh one :)

I got the plug wires changed and the windsheild in and on as well as the oh-sh#t bar and speaker in the dash. looks great im happy with it body color. also got one of the wiper motors in. They dont match but i think i can live with it. Progress has been slow the past week or so iv been rebuilding a mini-bike . Should be done real soon and then ill get to work on the top and the other door

 

I havnt decided where im going to mount the radio yet. I was thinking id make a skinny console between the seats but now im thinking maby just under the dash would be ok. Ill probrobly wait till everything else is done and see where looks best. id like to get a second speaker somewhere too. posibly under the pasenger seat. or i might put some pods in the back corners on the wheelwells. thats all up in the air

 

Its about time. i was about to ask somebody to R)
Thanks

 

hey you do some quick work and it looks awsome too.just read all the posts here and have been inspired to get a lot done tomorrow on my project. keep up the good work i cant wait to see what see looks like all put together. Nice paint by the way.

 

Great job !

Man, you've done a great job on this jeep, somehow Ive missed this thread until now. to a good job

 

Thanks it was in the early 5 forum until two days ago. So it would get bumped down pretty quick.

 

Oh i forgot. Yesterday i got a yj back seat from the junk yard im going to use it in the jeep exept its gray. I think ill try to look black vinal for it or else i might just spray paint it with vinal/fabric paint. Im only going to use the seat once in a while anyway and i hear if you prep the seat right it works pretty good. I dont like the gigantic brackets they use in the middle of the floor though so im going to make my own base bolted to the seat and seat belts to that. That way i can just use the side brackets and the whole thing will come out as a unit. Should work pretty good

 

Got the mini done and got the frame generaly built for the back seat. Iv started working on the top got the sides and back off to make it easier to work on. got the whole top sanded and primed. Also i made two bars for a roof rack should look good and clean. I flipped it over and started working on the bottom side. Theres alot of surface rust but im putting a headliner in anyway so i just gotta get it kinda clean and ill just undercoat it. Also i got the big dent out of the rear corner. looks like iv got to replace the sheetmetal that goes from the top down back to the windsheild its very rusted to the point it will be easier just to cut it out and make a new panel. Also ill have to repair the side panels where they atatch to the tub are pretty rusted. Pics soon

 

wow, i just read the whole thread and im very impressed!

Looks great! Hopefully I can luck into a cheap deal like you got one of these days.

 

Thanks! i actually got my cj2a for 200$ too back in 2001

 

i can point to 1 m38a1 in weeds and 1 cj7 forsale in my area.

i have the good fortune of finding what i can afford way to far away. That and plenty of what i cant afford.

 

Ill probrobly work on another mini this weekend so i probly wont get much done on the top but heres some pics

 

got the front panel welded in and the underside half finished. couldnt take pics my camea died after i took ones of the mini. also i picked up a quad for 100$ this weekend needs major motor assembly. Well heres my mini got it all done just gotta weld on a kickstand.
before and after

 

oh just realized i didnt show a pic of the green one

 

The top needs another coat and clear but you get the idea. Also iv got racks to bolt on that why the holes in the 4 corners. I started work on one side it should go pretty smoothly iv alreay made the new lower channel just gotta clean up the panel better and weld it on. Once the sides are done ill bolt my racks on and put the headliner in then bolt the sides on and put the top on. then ill fix up the rear and side door and put the interior together. I should have some time off from work in the next couple weeks so i might get somthing done
