You can be sure it will help you find every single oil leak you have. You know how Dave went with the zebra stripes on his GC? Just imagine your engine looking like that in a few miles haha

I'm having hard time deciding what color the battery cables should be. Any suggestions?

Keep the negative black and do the positive bright green. I would even buy a set of your cables if they came in bright green.

I have failed to see the multicolored ones that you have done before. But they do look good. Once I get my silver turd XJ all finished, I will get a set of cables from you and probably the motor mounts as well.

ZJs have grown on me more and more. I used to dispise them, but i think that was because my highschool friend had one and he was a tool with it. Now i kind of look at them with a sort of desire. i might have to get one someday.

Looks like she's in pretty good shape too, especially for "scrapyard price". Good thing you have spare motors as well. I had the chance to get a spare tranny for free but it didnt work out that way.

You need a witty decal, like "this is Just the spare Jeep", or "Grand Spare-Okee"

Maybe if I go to the junkyard and grab the lettered emblems off random vehicles I'm sure I can come up with Grand Spareokee

I found a brand new 99+ intake manifold in a box in the attic (Chinese made). So I gave it a coat of white paint. The thermostat housing also got the same treatment.

Pics later.
