Bringing this thread back from the dead:crazy:

I needed another Scrambler to work on like I need another hole in my head, but Josh is a good guy and is in a tough spot.

This is Josh's Scrambler, NOT MINE, I am just going to finish assembling it, and get it running for him. Don't worry JeepAddict, your red one is next:crazy::cheers:


Me and my buddy Chris went to Alabama Friday afternoon and picked this up from Josh's apartment building's parking lot:

IMG_20150821_182811016_HDR_zps4qcmpxtt-1.jpg



Basically, a stock 1981 Scrambler, 258, auto trans, ps, pb. Josh just had the exterior repainted, tub on the frame paint job. I need to do the following work to get it drivable, it has not run in a few years:

1) Go over all the body parts that the body shop put on and check their work as far as reassembly goes.
2) Swap the stock carb back on the engine and get it running.
3) Reinstall the gas tank.
4) Change all the fluids.
5) Go over the rest of the chassis and get this thing drivable.

I am just looking to get this Scrambler on the road again, not a major rebuild/restoration. Hope to have it back to Josh before Christmas, we will see............................:fingerscrossed:

I just wanted to post up, mainly to let Josh feel better; He let two dudes from Mississippi load up his Scrambler and haul butt, at least this way there is a public record of what happened to his Scrambler LOL:cheers:

I hope to start messing with this one this week. I need to inventory what we have, and what we will need. But, while I am waiting for parts, there is a bunch of work I can do.

That's it for now:popcorn:
 
I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this project. :bow:

its been a really long, hectic couple years since i started this project..2 jobs, 3 moves, and the 2 stooges paint and body shop disaster. this is the first time I have allowed myself to actually get excited about driving it again. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Maybe you can get a Santa Suit for final delivery..:woohoo:
