Wow! You got a pair on ya!!! I don't know if I would have tried to save that? I hate rust with a passion! Ugh!

 

3rd jeep. I should be pro at it now. Lol. Being im only 23 and work a full time 2nd shift job I had to wait till 4th weekend. 9 days off woohoo

 

Ya done good. Nice work!

 

very nice sir. now I know what i am about to get in to. i need to do mine but have been putting it off.

 

With determination, decent materials, and the time you can cut your way in and weld your way out.
See you have become an inspriation to others!

PS: If I rolled this one over on a friday night, needs a little patching, could I pick it up for sunday go to meetin???

 

I hope this helps others pics and all.

But holy moly she's rotted!!^^

 

It's not bad. Get it over with before winter arrives.
The longer you wait the more rust is forming

 

Looks good. How much money you got into it so far? What kind of welder are you using?

 

Well a sheet of 16g here was $75.00
.035 welding wire $8.99
Random bolts $4.50
Buddies Lincoln gas welder $0.00
Paint haven't bought yet.
Our time priceless lol.
Cheaper then buying drop in pans

 

 

Finished it up today got all the seats in and interior plastics. I left out the carpet because I want to bed line the floor. I will not be putting it back in. : ) plus I'm going to Seem seal everything before painting.

 

Little update. Got the floors painted yesterday. I used dupli-color engine primer 500 degree for the driver/passenger side tranny housing because of the heat. After that hit it with low gloss engine paint also for the heat.



Seam seal well got this stuff that's equivalent to 25 tubes of calk. Ya whatever you do don't buy it. It's expanding foam and is eating my fingers up.



So I'm going to buy some clear or black silicone.
Next is ball joints and tie rods and 1 wheel bearing.

 

Wish I was done! Started poking at mine today to get ready to do the rockers and ended up cutting it all out. Then I looked at the back floor... noticed the carpet was wet. What do you know...Rust everywhere! I think I jinxed myself looking at your thread! I need a project of this level like I need more cranial ports.

 

I am only did my driverside so farbut i found a free wranger hood and used the metal from that for the floor. FREEBIE. but i think the rest of the floor i will just get the steel sheet.

 

looks pretty good. only thing i would do different is put some more welds where the new floor connects with the body. oh yeah, did you weld the floor to the unibody rail at all? i did the floor in my MJ but i used pre bent panels. ended up cutting it up to make it fit anyway.
