Default progress

so this weekend finally got a chance to undercoat the bottom and fix some rust. the rockers had some weak spots. so cut out the weak stuff and riveted on air duct sheet metal. and bedlined over it. this is temporary, as im putting in heavy duty rockers in the future. also while i was driving the tail pipe broke off at a rust hole and fell off!!!!!!it was really loud hhaha. so got a new tail pipe for $30 with clamp, got some adapters and a cooler end piece, welded her up and got it on. no more exhaust smell and sounds way better!!!! also noticed a difference in the acceleration fro the good lol. now...just waiting for...you guessed it...my ebay turbo kit to arrive!!!! that's right. TURBO!!!!!!!

Got a listing for the turbo? That'd be pretty sweet on a Jeep. A buddy of mine just picked up a stock supercharger off a VW and we're gonna rig it up on his Jeep over this next month. Hopefully you can install the turbo yourself as getting a garage to do it will run you quite a bit of money, at least when I wanted to put a turbo on one of my cars they wanted an arm and a leg to do it so I just did it myself.
