Ooo look what I gots

jswift716

Well, I got this far today. And bought black vinyl and fabric paint

The headliners out, along with all of the tan trim and the rear carpet piece, my next step is to get the rear drivers door to open and then clean and bed line the floor sometime over the weekend I hope. I also want to pach over those pesky spare tire carrier mount holes in the floor that have been letting buffalo's winter salt spray in my other 3

It begins...

Painted some of the trim pieces, forgot to take a pic. And started laying down the first coat of black which is fancy rust protection stuff. Can't think of the brand right not. 1 can did this whole side and the front and rear passenger side of the floor didn't start the cargo area yet. I'm thinking 1 maybe 2 coats of this everywhere and then I'll start rolling on bedliner everywhere except tell engine bay

I know it been awhile, I broke my camera so haven't been able to take any photos. I have gotten a lot done with no time though especially today with help from 2000CHERO Here's where it sits after today

damn that looks like a lot of work

jswift716

OH yeah, I spend my lunch at work everyday wondering if I'm in over my head but I keep plugging along haha

jswift716

Well, Sunday I got the chili pepper fender and silver hood painted, the coax for my cb ran and zipped to the ceiling, some more of the trim back in and 3 of the crank regulators and door panels on. The rear drivers door is stuck shut so I have to find time to play with it.

I like the build! It does look like a lot of work, but that's going to make it even more sweet when it's done!

Here's a trip teaser until I can find time to type it out

jswift716

I know I know I still need to find time to post the memorial day trip. But I've gotten a ton done otherwise

jswift716

So today I got done at work an hour early, and I've been busy started the rear quarter cut and fold on the driver finished the passenger except welding. Cut the bumper off because it's all siezed with grit and got most of the 3 part hitch off. I have plans for that for later.. my goal is to get the drivers side folded and ready to weld up and maybe just maybe put my hd off road shackle relocation boxes in..

XJwonders

how are you attaching the shackle relocation boxes? Does it come with nutstrips

jswift716

I'm not too sure. This one's rust free and I don't like the idea of putting an extra hole in my floor back there. My plan so far was to just burn them in with the rear stiffeners and put the shackle bolt in like I'm supposed too so then if I ever have to start over again most of this one should be reusable and ill just have to spend maybe 400 for new stiffs and shackle boxes.
