Default First jeep and loving it

Hello every one. Nit sure where to start but this it the first jeep I have owned. And I'm loving ever second of it. I have always wanted a jeep ever sense I can remember so after selling my project car I desired it was time to get one. I searched high and low for the right one. And boy it is very hard to find them with a five speed manaul transmition. But I finally found one in good condition so I jumped on it. It does have high milage but it was very well taken care of. It runs like it is new off the show room floor. I have only owned it for about two weeks now. The only things that have been done to it is rancho shocks and a set of fog lights on the front. I'm not sure what where I am going to start with the mods but I do have some in mind. I don't have any pics as of right now but I will get some tomorrow

Check your local voc. tech school for night classes in auto body. You can fix it and paint it yourself.

Check your local voc. tech school. See if they need vehicles to practice on. if you provided the body parts, and paint. Fenders and 1/4 panels are relatively cheap.
