Jeep cj7 83 right hand drive 4x4 5 sp british export - part II

Will be nice to see it all in green CB, bodywork takes forever or feels like it anyway!
What colour interior are you going with? , i have seen lots of interiors on your posts recently!
 
Original nutmeg interior, will set it off nicely... white wagon wheels as well... all in all, it will be a very nice 1983 Renegade run about until someone offers me too much to let it go ;)

Need to pick up more paint today as I thought I had more than I actually did...

It is ok though, this was a very very light first coat just to get it rolling, I will finish the light coat and then the 2nd coat will be a lot more wet/heavy... then clear.

Looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

Back on the road next weekend? :wave:
 
My daughter asked me if I could have it done for tomorrow so we could "give it to someone that doesn't have a Jeep", for the 4-wheeling adventure we are going on tomorrow.
Kids have the greatest imagination... also very accepting of giving other peoples stuff away ;)

Makes you proud her heart is in the right place. Great job Mom & Dad. :thumbsup: :wave:
 
So, it appears it is mating season! The tub found its way back to its mate and hopefully now joined forever (well as long as I own it).
I had some buddies come over and we got it on the frame and then I did a very long and thorough cleaning of the garage and workbench and finally got to put the body mounts on (it was on 2x4's) and got 4 bolts hand tightened before calling it a night.

I plan on doing all the firewall pieces next, so a lot of hurry up and wait for painting parts and weather stripping heater parts and such.

Patiently waiting
