modifying seats to bolt into Scrambler...
 
After seeing bryanf 2nd Scrambler in north Georgia I went out to back of church where my first 81 Scrambler I disassembled 15 years ago lay in parts. I had the best intentions but you know...distractions happen. With the 83 import coming last November ( minus the original title) and seeing the two in Georgia got me thinking again about Old Green. maybe it time to rebuild her???
 
Got the passenger seat almost installed. Have a few minor things to do to get it 100% but its pretty much in. Required a sh!t ton of modifications to the stock bracket to get it to factory height. (Had to drop the seat 4.5")
Now i have to install the drivers...

I just wish i got black seats. (I practically stole these seats so i cant complain)
They are out of a 2005 TJ

Swapped out my old crappy crown wiper transmission for oem YJ transmission. Hopefully I will be able to run these and not have to worry about them exploding on me when I need them most.

Watching my Scrambler get covered in snow again. Woke up to an inch of the stuff. I'm really starting to dislike this stuff.

EDIT By 10:00 am there was at least 7" of wet heavy snow everywhere. But mid-afternoon the sun came out and I bet it will all be gone by tomorrow. Although, it is lightly snowing again...:angry:

Edit #2 It's now 3:45 and it's hailing like crazy...1/4" - 3/8" in size, about a half inch deep and building...

Central Oregon seasons:

Almost Winter
Winter
Still winter
Road construction

Mike- that Scrambler is gorgeous!

I finally got the Scrambler back into the prime spot in the work shop.
The YJ I was working on is gone now and the CJ5 as well, so now I can concentrate on working on the Scrambler... what's that?
Garden? What? I don't know what that means.
You want to make it bigger? What?
Oh, you want it now to be fenced in and double in size... why don't we just skip to the chase and I can build you a greenhouse sweetie?

Well, at least it is in place to be worked on, when is now the question!

PS> Radiators weren't meant to last for 25 years without being flushed... apparently this was the original radiator, original thermostat and original fluid. I almost threw up when I drained it... mud started pouring out and it smelled like a porta-potty at a Buffet show in August!! It actually fell apart in my hands when I yanked it out. Also, all the heater hoses were cracked... not leaking fluid out of them mind you, only allowing air to seep in... PITA trying to figure out why I couldn't burp the system! It kept burping and running hot until those were replaced. Then things were a lot better. New thermostat allowed it to open right at 195 and run right at 210 and then dip down.
 
Drove in the rain to check out a CJ7.

Nice. Where can you get those rocker steps? I have limited choices with side pipes running down the sides beneath the doors.

Finally remember the pictures of what NOT TO DO:

Despite missing a lot of fins, the rest were crunched, and the radiator had mud in it... and was mostly clogged... yikes.... but does explain the overheating ;)
