I bought this jeep about six months agofor $300. I currently have another project in the one car garage that I have so I wasn't able to work on it all winter. But since the weather has finally gotten better, I've been able to get out and start working on it. I'll post all the pics that I can as I move along.

So my first order of business was to rebuild the motor, but that was last fall and i didnt take any pics, but the block had a big old hole in it from the last guy trying to drive through a lake. My next project was to remove the seats and the carpet to repair the floorboard holes.

So this is where I'm at now. I have all of the rust cut out, and I even went to the sheet metal shop and got some steel. But my welder seems to be out of argon.... @#$%!!!!

Saturday mornig was when I ran out of argon and the welding store isn't open on the weekends. So I made a trip to the fabric store because the headliner was falling down.

For $20 fabric, a $10 can of spray glue, and about an hour, I redid my headliner. This is what it looks like without the sound bar done. I just don't know what color or pattern to cover that in.
