Well first of all i would like to show you how my jeep looked before the wreck.
Before the crash this is how it looked:
After the crash this is how it looks now:
After all that happened i was hunting for parts.. I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$$. It would cost over $850.00 for all the parts that i needed.
I Couldn't find any cheap parts in Wisconsin but i found a junkyard in Minnesota where they happened to have a jeep just like mine.
This is how it looked after i parted it out: Everything was $375
And finally a few parts after i washed them.
I Will start fixing this tomorrow! I am welding the support back in place and weld the chunk that's missing on the passengers side. I Will post more pictures tomorrow hopefully!

Ok you guys as you can see my jeep is f'd up and i decided to weld the chunk that was missing on the passengers and the bumper support. So i got to welding.
After welding this is how it came out and i also painted the bumper support along with the piece.
I Will also be painting the fenders and hood etc tomorrow.. i spent 5 hours getting the parts ready by hand..
That is all.. tomorrow i will paint everything and put them on my jeep.

So yesterday i spent all afternoon putting in the radiator the fan and all sorts of other stuff. I'm trying to turn on this bad boy first.
All I need to do now is Put the anti freeze and the battery and hope it turns on.
Here's a up to date picture of my baby.

So Yesterday I installed the battery and all other sorts of stuff that needed to be fixed and installed...
So i got my key.. it was sitting in the house for about 3 months wow.
I got in the jeep put the key in and turned the car on!!!
hell yeah!
It turned on asap.. it didn't take me two tries it took one time to turn the key and let me tell you guys it turned on better than ever!!
Check engine light is off Everything is off but the airbag but that will get fixed soon.
Here's how the engine looks and everything else
I Would like to know of products to clean the engine and all that. My engine use to be clean but when i got hit the battery exploded and it poured liquids everywhere. So does anyone have tips or a cheap way of cleaning everything that is under the hood?
By the way this is how it looks all i need to do is put the parts which i still need to paint.
Cheers you guys i brought her back and it's better than ever!

Alright you guys, i have been real busy in the past weeks fixing my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport!
My To do list was
•[√] Weld Bumper Support
•[√] Install battery, Fuse Box, Radiator Etc.. (All things that needed to be replaced.)
•[√] Sand Jeep Parts and get them ready to be painted. (They were green)
•[√] Paint Parts
•[√] Put the hood first!
•[√] Install the right & left fender the rest of the parts!
I Welded the bumper support and put the bumper in and this is how it looked:
After i did All that i bought a battery and radiator and replaced everything but the engine!
I Sanded a few parts as you can see above and after that i painted them black.. I used an paint spray gun
with my air compressor with special paint that i got for free.
It came out good for being a first timer as you guys can see below.
After that i installed a hood boy o boy was it hard to install the parts. The whole support moved to the right
due to the crash so i had to get a hammer and move the support back in place!
So After installing all the parts this is how my baby looks now!!!
It is up and running but now there is another issue!
In the passangers side and drivers side the floor is rusty and falling apart!
Sounds like i will be welding in a new floor.
After i took the carpet out
Thats my new project for this week! Weld up a new floor so stay tuned!
There is many more things i will add to this jeep!
By the way can anyone give me a link to replace the bulbs that are in my jeep for some colored ones?
I'm looking to replace stock bulbs for some blue ones so the color looks blue and not greenish.
Thanks!!
