The owner took the sideboards off when she parked it years ago. She kept them stored for this moment!

Beauty shot of where I pushed it when it died on a test drive once it warmed up. Would not restart until it cooled back off.

New front floors in, you can still see where the rear body mounts haven't been rebuilt yet.

Well folks, sorry to have disappeared for over a year. Life got real busy, and I neglected to keep this thread updated. The great news is that I got it all put back together. The less great news is all the other stuff that happened that fought me at every step in the process. I had delivered the...

I just drilled off the VIN plate from the windshield frame on my neighbors project yesterday, and somehow it was the one thing that I didn't take a picture of, but in my minds eye it was a five lobed rosette rivet. On an 83 base model with what I don't doubt was the original windshield frame...

Got the rotten windshield frame off yesterday with my son’s help. Today’s shenanigans included removing the hood, grill and fenders. I got a few body mount bolts out intact before I ran out of acetylene. Getting them real warm with a small flame was working really well. Two captured nuts spun in...

I’m in Eau Claire.

It’s funny you should say that. The brown does not have a name. I had asked. I have been calling my Jeep Christine since I got her back in 98. She is very temperamental. I thing she has been jealous of all the attention on the brown Jeep. Since it went in my garage the right turn signal on mine...

I can take more later, this is what I had my phone. She did mention that she had gotten this bumper from a junkyard. I haven’t looked too close at it, but I had never seen one with metal end caps before. Granted, I had only ever my Scrambler SL and one other one that didn’t have a step bumper.

And now the bottom end is torn down and will head to the machine shop tomorrow. Also some pics.

Cylinder head went to the machine shop for a valve job. Thanks for all the love on here.

After getting the brown Jeep back to my driveway, it was late enough that I couldn't do much. My son spent the next day using Germ-X to clean alot of the grossness off. It was something he picked up from watching YouTube videos of restoring barn finds. He also vacuumed up alot of mouse turds and...

Last year as I got my Scrambler "running" again for the spring, the heater core started to leak. Since I had the heater box out I decided that it would be a good time to also replace that passenger floorboard that I bought but hadn't gotten around to yet. The more I cut the worse things looked...

Salvageable? My idea of that means that it has a VIN plate, and maybe a title, or at the very least a legit bill of sale. Beyond that I think almost everything else can be redone if the budget matches the expectations! This one might not win any awards or command a big price on ebay, but its got...

I'll be getting the second Scrambler going for her. It's been part of her family since at least 91. She told me how she wanted to buy it from her dad and how he sold it to her for a dollar. We tossed a battery in it at her house and a little gas down the carb and it fired up for a couple seconds...

Hello! I am finally writing to introduce myself. Apparently I joined this site in 2002, but have somehow never posted before. I bought my 81 Scrambler in '98 when I was in college to replace my really rusty 80 CJ-7, although my Scrambler wasn't in much better shape as it had spend many days as a...
