My first 2000 XJ Classic!!!
 

Alright, well as you know this is my first XJ. I picked her up for 1500 bucks, about 3 months ago with only 130 000km, she's still a baby:laughing: Alright, i'm 19 and a automobile mechanic student, so i will be learning new things as im building. First things first, problems! :brickwall:

-needed new brakes (fixed)
-new passenger floor (fixed)
-part of driver floor is rotting
-t-case is leaking
-hole in rocker(fixed)
-had a miss fire(needed new spark plugs)
-roof is rusting like crazy(PO left it under a tree for 6 months)
-needs new tie rod end
-loose steering
-terrible head lights!(got some 12 dollar sylvania head lights, pretty bright!)
-driver side wiper is pretty loose
-rear wiper doesent work
and a couple other things

so here are some pictures when i first got her

real nice jeep man.. keep it out of mud haha

The first thing i had to fix was the passenger floor. turned out my whole floor is rotting but there are no holes yet in the back or in the trunk:001_unsure: i bought a new floor i took the green crossmember(not sure if thats what its called) from a zj in my shop that was going to the scraps.

mine used to like mud to but it sucks to clean it. and then when u gotta get under it to do anything u always have thats stuff dropping in your face

thats true lol, every time i would take my jeep out of the shop i would have a pile of dried up mud to sweep:laughing:

Then i fixed the hole i had in my rocker

and this may not all be in order of what i did first

well one of the rear one is scuffed up pretty bad(looks like it came from a red xj,
and i haven't taken on my front ones yet. maybe in a week or so i can sell them to you if you want

got some leds from MTLXJ (the cameras making them look like purple but their not):tt2:

Good job so far! Nice rig

do you like the leds? im thinking about getting them. do you think they are worth it?

Thanks!

my old lights were terrible, i hated not being able to see so i had to get new ones, and yes they are worth it, one led is almost as good as my 4 old map lights lol
