I will be painting tonight. The inside of the fenders and the grille, Hopefully I can get them mounted up and finish up the majority of the body work this weekend.

I will need to fill some dents in the hood, full doors and half doors. I will also me filing some screw holes in the CJ tailgate and prepping it for paint.

Maybe looking at paint next week? Might wait to paint until after the Line-x is done haven't decided yet.

I got most of what I wanted to get done this weekend. I hate bondo so I didn't end up filling any dents. I did however get A LOT done this weekend. The Jeep is now drivable again, in FWD. The fenders and grill have all been jam painted. and installed. I got everything in the engine bay installed, the ABS pump was fun. I also got the 8 screw holes in the CJ tailgate welded up and sanded down. Crappy cell phone pics, the paint looks 1000 times better than these pics show.


Fenders and grill jammed:




Grill installed:

The stock radiator bolts right up to the Tj grill in both the 4cyl and 6.
Engine bay put back together:
pass side


driver side



So on Friday night this is what the front end looked like:


By Sunday afternoon:




Also got the interior completely stripped, had to get the wife to help me remove the roll bars. (thanks honey):



I love the way the Genright fenders look:




My birthday is coming up and my mother and grandfather are going to pay to have the windshield replaced (it's cracked) . This week I would like to get this thing out of garage and REALLY wash her down inside and out. Maybe get some dents filled (I HATE bondo ). The wifey and kids are going to Florida mid June for a few days so that is when I would like to do the painting. Before then I need to get the Line-x done and the dents filled. After that all that is left in the suspension swap and that should be it. So the target date for completion is end of June.

Well, you have been kicking booty on this project. Looking good. Are you going to the frame with the roll bar on re-installation or leaving it attached to the body?

Looking good.

Looking good.

I run a TJ soft top, so I will be using a Tj roll bar which to start off will just be mounted like a stock unit. However my next project once the red jeep is sold is for a weld in front kit with frame tie ends all around.

Not to thread hijack, but I'm going the same route with mine, black to tan since my new-by-the-PO-soft top and now bikini top that I got for my birthday are both tan... (wow what a convoluted sentence...) is that offer still open?

Back on topic... dude you stole that Jeep, kinda like I did mine. Happily, no wife for me and the g/f already loves it and she's only been in the Jeep once. That will change in august once she gets back from Cali

The box is an ABS Acceleration Switch. Used in ABS Equipped Jeeps up threw the TJ's.

Good to know. I would have never guessed it had to do with the braking system...

[jaywiz1977]
