You're hella lucky you got auto body class at your school, my school's too poor to have any shop classes, and my it's ghetto enough that there would be a huge risk of people killing each other with the tools. I gotta settle for working on mine in the driveway.. but then again it would be stupid for me to do any serious mods cuz the closest place that I can take it off road is 60 miles away and gas is really expensive here... Sometimes I hate california.

Thats cool. Right now I'm thinking about getting a '91 2 door for hella cheap and fixing it up, but my only problem is it needs some serious work and I need to find a place to do it, and some technical advise cuz besides the pretty simple stuff I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll probably end up giving it to my sister when she gets her license cuz I don't really need 2 jeeps.. jw, is yours a 95 or a 96, and how many miles does it have on it?
