Project "Rusty XJ"
 

so I'm jake and I bought my '96 XJ Sport bout a month ago. Good News is that I only paid $2500 for the bad news is that the floor pans are rusted out or rusting out so thats on my long list of things to do. When I got I noticed that the drums were locking up and the passenger caliper was locked up. So far I've replaced the passenger drum and everything inside it and both calipers. Next is to replace the rotors and the driver side drum and do a tune up, any suggestions where I can get a decent set of spark plug wires?

Here are some more pictures...you can see it has low miles...

looks pretty clean! minus the floors haha but for the spark plug wires i normally just go to advance auto or autozone. what are your plans for it? if there anything like my plans youll need alot of money haha

well its gonna be my daily driver for a little while but in a couple weeks or so tires and wheels...me and my dad are going to build front and rear bumpers and replace the floor pans and being in the marines its kinda hard to get all that done especially since he's in Georgia and I'm in North Carolina but I'm really considering stoking it and maybe an axle swap front a rear

Accel makes a nice wireset my floorpans are rusty too :/

the carpet has already fell through on the drivers side...i bought mine from a guy in Ohio and i figured it was from all the salt on the roads in the winter time...but $2500 i couldnt pass it up

Mines that bad but I paid 300 for it

did you DIY or pay someone?

fun tonight in the garage

u-joint replacement
 

so i got some u-joints from advance auto parts and they gave me to wrong one its too big for the rear shaft so gotta take them back and exchange them

got the u-joints changed and i repainted the grill and headlight bezels semigloss...tinted the side turn signals..it looks way better in my opinion also painted the JEEP on the front black
