For the last year i have been trying to restore my grand fathers jeep that he left me when he passed away. He wasnt a "Jeep guy" but he was always interested in what I was doing with my old YJ. Before he died I asked if I could buy it from him. I went with my wife to visit him in the hospital after a surgery he had and he gave me the keys and told me that i could have it as long as i promised to fix it up. A few months later he was gone. I'm almost done, here are some pics of the progress. I still have alot of plans for a cage and some other cool stuff. Ill be updating this thread when i get something cool.

wow that has become quite the jeep. Its always nice to have something left behind that you can build upon it helps you keep your memories of him. Please keep us updated on the progress I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

I love it! The newer valance and fenders really looks great.

what kind of axle is that in the rear? it looks like something off a ufo!!

 

thats something great to remember your father by. my dad left me his guns. i love the fenders. are you going to mod the rears to match the front?

 

Looks to be a ford 9" with a 3rd member? NRT_Chris: do you work for Currie?
