Well, It's back....
As very few of you know, I also own a 1976 CJ-7 with a 258 I-6. Ive had the jeep ever since I was 15 and never really got around to finishing it. The jeep has been out of my "hands" so to say for the last 3 years because another guy was supposed to finish it for me.
Since that turned into a nightmare and went sour, I finally got my jeep back only to be upset with the condition of it. The jeep had a rebuilt motor with a ton of new parts on it and for some reason the guy who was supposed to "finish" the jeep, took the valve cover off and never put it back on... for 3 years.
Throughout the time the jeep wasnt with me some parts were stolen off it and rust started to accumulate. The new windshield,fenders,KC lights... have surface rust now. Luckily it seems all of the SS brake lines were in good condition and some of the new gauges inside the jeep are still good.
So now after I finish my Talon im going to get back into working on the jeep very slowly. So if anyone has any spare parts or even motors laying around let me know, im intrested. Ill have pictures up shortly....
