Alright, here we go with take number two. Photos seem to be working this time through, special thanks to CJ7Pilot for helping me out with this one.
I've been lurking this forum for well over a year now, and its about time I make my build thread. My name is Max, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Venice Florida. I grew up loving jeeps. My father has a 1985 CJ7 that he's the second owner of since 1989, when i was little riding in it was my favorite thing in the world. It was what spurred my love for the Jeep brand. My father and I were searching for CJ7 to restore when i stumbled upon a Scrambler sitting in someones garage all in boxes. I called him up and he came over and we fell in love with the unique Jeep. We ended up letting that one slip through our fingers, but we tracked one down in New Mexico a while later, VIN 1JCCF88E8FT186290. I'm sure one of you here can tell me a lot more about the scrambler than everything I know just from the VIN and I'd appreciate it if there's any information to gain from it. This Jeep seems to have a ton of factory options on it including Clock, tach, power steering, A/C, and the 4.2l. The goal of this build is a semi-restoration. I say "semi" because I decided to go with a different factory 1985 color. It was originally 5D honey, but I selected 5E Dark Brown Metallic. I'm sorry about the long winded introduction, now on to the good stuff. I hope y'all enjoy this thread.
