Quote: Nice bug. I was talking about the xj though. My first bug was a 73 baja in high school, and my second was a 64 street beetle with a type 2 1915. I miss them both, but I've moved on to better pastures
I will post those pics tomorrow night after I get it.

I bought it that way. They are all over the hood and the spider webs all over the engine cover. I think someone took a stencil and an airbrush before the clear. It was a really nice paintjob

Yup, it came home last night. After talking to the guy more I found out we have a ton of mutual friends so what I thought was going to be a quick grab and go turned into a 4 hour BS session.








Sorry for the poor pictures. It was dark when I got home and I still had other errands to run

Glad to see the new rug.

Ever watch the Pabst Boys Roadhouse on YouTube?

Humor plus Jeep mods.

Window crank **** pops off and heater only works on high?

I know those are so major...

I'm going to take it out this weekend with my brother in law. He's got a little bit bigger jeep so if I have problems I know he can get me out....

I will get some pictures this weekend when I go out. Found a few thing that need to be corrected. My steering badly needs an upgrade. Currently all stock. Right now trying to decide if I just go to a tie-rod drag link style that mounts in the current position or if I get one of the over knuckle styles. Of course I want to keep the costs down but want to do what is right for the long run.

I also found a small leak from my front axle. Guess when I replace the steering I will tear apart the front end and install new seals.
