Getting fixed and put back into service :)

Needs upper and lower control arms, inner/outte tres, spindle,caliper rotors and brake line to be "drivable"

Found those parts for $100 at a local junkyard so it'll get put back to IFS for now, but I'm also picking up a d30 HP non disco, with big joint shafts from the same yard for $60 that will eventually be put in the front.

My intentions are to have this thing tagged and insured by friday so I can drive it to work for the heck of it.

It's new purpose inlife is to be a dedicated trail rig that I can beat the body on without any concern, just like its a 90 cherokee or something :)

I will edit this thread to keep track of exspenses.

Jeep $600
Fuel to get jeep $120
junkyard parts $350
Autozone parts $30
Window urethane $40

total $1140

Just tore into it a little, lower control arm is fine, just broke the spindle off around the balljoint. so that saves me a few bucks on the temp IFS replacment.

I found junkyard parts:
upper control arm $19.95
spindle rotor/caliper still attatched $19.95
axle shaft $34.95
complete rack with inner and outter TREs ( I only need the tie rods) 19.95
rear window $65
quarter glass $45
windshield $69
Mirrors $50 each

So for approx $350 bucks I have everything to put it togather enough to drive it to work including mirrors.

Well I must say this...

GO BIG BLUE!
:goink:

It also has the right license plate too. Bourbon County, KY.
So if I drove up to OH with a UK plate on the front, would I get some looks?

I pulled the cover to look at the tire, and it basically fell to pieces.

Found one that is in better condition than this for $1,600. The one I found was rolled slightly it says, starts up and run still. It would make a good woods buggy. I thought about it but buying new tires/wheels or re-gearing my KJ sounds a lot better to me.

every vehicle I own is forsale somewhere and I highly doubt this one sticks around long. I had it listed forsale before I even got it home. But in the mean time I will have fun with it.

Tom you should just buy it now for your spare parts pile.

Went on another parts run today and the yard I went to offered me $1500 as it sits. They said theyd probably bid up to 2000 for it at auction.

I turned them down so I'm not to interested in selling right now.
