A few more pictures.
In my opinion, this is still a very solid jeep. JeepAddict bought this one right before I did. The body is very solid. The windshield frame is rusted out, which also caused some rust through on the dash. The fenders, hood, grill, front floor boards, and the rest of the body tub are rust free/solid. The rear bed floor is still solid, it just has a few pin holes, lots of minor "pitting", and is covered in surface rust. It would not take much work at all to restore this body back to perfection.
Mechanically, it is kind of "interesting"
It only shows around 80,000 miles on the speedometer, which might be correct. But, the "big" mechanical issues:
1) the cylinder head is in the cab. PO said it had a miss, thought it was a valve, was not a valve, never put it back together.
2) bent leaf springs/missing shackle hangers
3) broke rear axle shaft
4) missing front brake calipers
5) missing gas tank
6) bent front driveshaft
7) missing various small/minor mechanical parts
8) covered in mud dobber nests (similar to wasps)
Between my leftover parts and JeepAddicts leftover parts, we should be able to bring this one back to a drivable status without too much cash.
This is going to be a "budget" build/fix, not some major expensive rebuild like my red Scrambler. With that being said, I am not going to take any shortcuts or do any hack work, this jeep is still in very restorable shape. We just want to stabilize its condition and get it running again
