Ok, on this build there will be a lot of jumping around in the order I am doing it. I am doing almost all of it in the driveway and I have to deal with the weather Washington is known for....rain, and a lot of it. With that in mind, please excuse the progress going from exterior to interior and back & forth. Here is where I am at now......

 

By the end of the weekend I should have the engine, transfer case, and transmission out. It all depends on the weather forecast being correct. In the mean time I have started working on the interior trim. All the holes I will no longer need I am filling in, sanding, and will be repainting. I am also filling in the holes in the new grill surround (where the Jeep letters go). I am no longer using the location of the spare tire so that tab will be cut off and that opening being plastic filled. Still working on it but it will be done shortly.

 

When you get yours built and mines done we are going to get together and wheel the crap out of these. Nice job so far

 

You have a huge head start !! I need to work faster!! Come spring time I should be able to get out and hit the trails with ya!

 

I like it! your engine compartment is very clean, anyways you can take some better pics of your vaccum lines, mine are all messed up

 

Ok, the weather is not helping things, but here is some progress. The past owner turned the wire harness into a birds nest I get to fix up.
