This is my Build thread. Really been enjoying the site. Doing lots of reading and even learning a thing or two...
Here it is bone stock from the previous owner.

Drivers Seat
The original seat was a broke up pretty bad.
Wanted to fix it but didn't wanna lose out on my pristine interior.
Off to the junkyard. Stripped out a front seat from an older 2dr XJ.

now I got a seat that tilts forward and I still have matching front seats. The interior is old but has no rips or tares. Plus I dig the black tartan style pattern.

The original was actually falling off. Completely oxidized on the inside. Saved by the autozone special.

Grill and Header...
I sprayed the grill and pulled the sagging header out. Threw away the material and sprayed the foam header to go right back in.

Paint...
I way cheaped out and used Exterior house paint. Was way to thick to go through the gun (Like molasses) Diluted it 1-1 with hot water.

Painted...
Don't wanna mislead anyone. My Dad did the bodywork and the painting. I busted *** on it but I just don't have his skills.
