While taking apart the front end i discovered the header panel was in pieces (i'll get to that later) i also with my crazy body builder strength decided it was a good idea to crack the part of the block where the thermostat housing bolts in so had to replace the housing with a junk load of RTV but as you can see the radiator was done

Petruna

thought i had more pics of header panel but i do not. so here is the finished header panel with new headlights (they still don't fit right may be going to the 1 piece headlights)

Petruna

at this point i realized i need a new bumper couldnt afford the winch and all the fun stuff (yet) so ordered that and painted it to match my new paint job

Petruna

Should point out i painted her with rust-oleum bedliner paint. The pictures don't do her justice!!

It was at this point where i started smelling a strong gas smell!! Then the next time i filled up at the pump gas spilled out. and as i drove away i left a line of gas in the street like a bad action film! So i had to replace the filler neck pretty easy job except for getting the hoses off the old rusted out neck

Petruna

The steering is all over the road and it sux big time.
the rims and tires are the wrong size. So i am bring her back to stock. looking for a decent suspension kit (not worried if its a lift or not right now) and i got an OEM set of jeep rims. Need to decide if i should paint them black or go chrome. Anyone in cleveland good with jeeps i can pay for repairs!!!
