WOW that is some good looking paint. Do I dare ask the budget on this build?

LOVE IT!! I have always wanted a good functional woody! This is pristine! I can't believe all the treasures you are finding. Those factory seat covers, seriously!

2 questions:
Where'd you find the seat covers (mine have "limited" embroidered on them right where your shoulder blades are, if you're sitting in the seat - can't tell from the picture but do those have that embroidery)?
Where'd you find the wood grain vinyl for the exterior?

Looking great!

The seat-covers are NOS/OEM embroidered with "Limited". This may have been one-in-a-lifetime find. The story goes... The gentleman I purchased them from had them stored for the last 25 years. Shortly after he purchased his XJ he received a set because his seat-covers were defective... I didn't ask the nature of the defect(s). But before he had them replaced... He totaled the Jeep.

As far as the woodgrain... I was an arduous selection process. Below is my “Wall-of-Woodgrain”! And below it is my review of the products. I selected and purchased Wagonmaster’s Marine Teak from Team Grand Wagoneer.

Any updates in the last few months? I found an earlier Wagoneer Limited in a junkyard. Has an I4 carb. My guess is 84-86? Also has a different grill, has about 21 slots with a chrome header panel. I love the red tail lights on Wagoneers, its one of my favorite upgrades on my XJ.

+1 for updates. Anything new going on? I've joined the Wagoneer team recently and would love to see the progress.

Also, is it just me or are the pics of fresh paint not showing?
