Here are some more pics. Sorry for quality, I only have a camera phone. I will list pro's and con's to this vehicle.









Here are the rust spots mentioned. Easily cut out and replaced w/ metal. and then covered in rhino. These were my plans.





The outside looks great. Aside from one minor rust spot on the corner of a fender that MAACO painted over, the outside is near perfect. There are a few dings and scratches, but it still looks pretty damn good. Jeeps need character. The rust you can see is there, but easily fixable. I did install a cheap radio and speaker system in the vehicle as the other one was old and did not work. I did not put too much money into this as I was afraid someone would either steal it or it would get rained on. I do have a habit of not putting the full top on and driving thru the rain. Man, that's fun. I did, also, accidentally break the turn signal switch, but they can be picked up on eBay for $25. I've already searched.

The suspension lift was professionally installed by 4 Wheel Parts of Tampa and does have complete warranty. I would assume that the warranty would follow over to new owner. I will get in touch with them, confirm, and get whatever necessary paperwork is required for this. I have a spare tire for this, but did not care to carry it on the back of the vehicle. I thought it took up too much space I will supply the spare tire as well. I have currently a Motorcraft 2100 carb installed, but it is out of tune a bit. She does run a tad rich and the timing is advanced a few degrees too much which causes it to blurp after shutting down every now and then. I really just havent taken the time to fix this but it is very simple. The power valve needs replacing as the Jeep tends to stall out a bit under heavy braking. I will supply an extra Motorcraft 2100 carb and the original Weber that came with the Jeep. I do have to admit though, after the 2100 was installed, I felt MUCH more torque through out the power band.

Overall, I love this jeep and really don't want to get rid of it, but "ya gotta do what ya gotta do".

I can't really accept less than $7000 as is. I know I am losing money on this, but I've been modifying cars for a long time and I know you don't get back what you put into them.

Thanks for looking!
