Removed the 95 master cyl, and booster to do the brake upgrade


Installed in the 93

Random front shot

some suspension pics, because I pulled the fenders



one of the YJ longer brake hoses

Now onto the fun part, pulled the rear trim to see how bad the rust was hidden

Drivers side

not bad

Passenger side - FML

only one thing left to do





now lets tackle that arch
first cut

not good enough
second cut

Nice


removed the rear bumper

**** I cut out


I need to do the drivers side, the inner fender will need to be manipulated in the back corner, and then added too and fully re welded. Oh well CLEARENCE IS NICE.

 

started today on the drivers side arch





Then Pulled the front seats and decided to figure out a plan for the rear floor



Dropped the tank

The cover for the tank is a moisture/ garbage trap, probabaly causing alot of xj tank rust on other peoples rigs


Taped the openings, including the one vent that was missing WTF?




More to come

 

I'm very impressed with your work. I've held off on chopping my Jeep up because I know it'll be addictive. :P

 

that ought to be enough to clear 40s haha

good work though

 

Thanks for the motivation and support

 

This is how I started the day, stupid *** torx

had to drive like 20 minutes to get to sears and exchange it, so I bought 2 spare ones ontop of that.
Started the doorless hinge mod, might as well as I'm switching doors anyways.

passy doors off


Pulled the carpet out, to reveal the lack of floor




Doorless on the drivers side



started to trim the rockers to get rid of rust and tuck in some beefy rock sliders


cutting on the drivers side floor



vacumed the **** out of the u channel

Ran out of cutting discs and daylight on the driverside floor, so all tucked away for the night

 

wow that looks like one hell of a project. i hope my 89 does not look like that.

 

the more and more I cut out, the less and less I want to finish the project.











Some gease flew over head like 3 different packs 3 different times



Just dont have the time ti finish this to be my winter rat. I really dont know if I should continue with the project, as I want a wrangler anyways.

 

you should continue but with a diferent project maybe a tubular or something like that. the axles and shafts are holding the unibody, if you chop that it would fold as a taco. good luck

 

holy crap thats alot of rust!

 

i wish i had your patience, i would be so mad about the rust by now... i like reading this every day though!

 

The only thing that keeps me alive in this build is the people looking on.
I'm not very patient, tho I've learned alot of patience dealing with my eye condition.

I'm very mad about the rust, I mean, I knew it was rusty, but I atleast expected 3 spots of the floor 8''x8'' to be intact somewhere, haha.
Oh well tho, I have too much invested into this project to quit.

 

this going to be just a toy or a DD/weekend warrior?

 

plan was to be my winter vehicle and move to toy/ back up vehicle during the summer, since I dont think it will be done for winter, I'm unsure if it will ever be put on the road. even tho it is legally inspected insured and registered right now.

 

hey dude, didnt know you were over here
