Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum, a buddy of mine told me that I should join a Jeep Club, so here I am.
I'm not a car guy either so I will be learning a lot real quick, so please excuse me if I don't know the difference between a lug nut and a drive shaft....JK, I know that much.
I have a 95 YJ - the one with square head lights and rare colors!
Mine is Bright Mango, although now it has more spots of primer than Mango, let's say this Mango was starting to rot.
It has over 230(k) and the engine was running great, the rust & rot was spotty but getting worse.
The leaf springs, suspension and basically everything else down under was in REALLY bad shape.
There was a hole big enough for 2 of my fists to fit through the frame.
I had a friend who was helping me with it, the plan was for him to finish it, but unfortunately the last couple of months were not good to him.
I'm forced to finish this all by myself and I'm going to need some serious HELP!
In return, (if your still reading and interested in helping)
- I'm willing to hire for fair price
- I have access to 70 acres of private land that you can play on.
- I'll even baby site your dog!
What do I need?
- I need the lift to be finished - Sway Bar links are not connected, dunno what else?
- Engine needs to be checked - I'm not sure what he did or what's left (at the moment the serpentine belt & fan have been removed)
- 90% of the body work is DONE - it's almost ready for PAINT!
- Both sets of Full & Half Doors - need some minor repairs, and then PAINT!
- I've saved all the misc parts that I took off the Jeep (Lights, Clasps, Fenders, etc)
- I'll probably have to find some replacements for any broken or missing.
- Seats, dashboard, & console are all in great shape - no rips, just minor stains.
That's about sums it all up - please I'm open to any suggestions - like should I paint the whole undercarriage black or find misc pieces to paint to match the body color? Now, before I paint is there's anything I should think of before it's too late?
Thanks in advance.
