terranoman Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 well i would bolt the engine and gearbox straight to the diff (still using the back end of the chassis for the suspension) and build a frame to hold the engine and forks............... but i rang the guy yesterday saying i was on my way to come get the motor to be told "oh i should of rang you the other day, its developed a problem. its lost power." "i will ring you later, a friend is going to look at it for me". and i've still not heard from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terranoman Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 ok to start with i will show you the wheels. they were pretty horrible but with some steel wool they look like this. now as i have struggled to find a fender, i beat the crap out of the original with a hammer. this is right after it has been sprayed (still wet), i know there are still some dings and its not perfect and i have been told to get some filler on it and smooth it out but its a 20 year old jeep and if its too perfect i wont use it to its full and be soft on it. and here is a crap picture of the new door.
