Michiana Jeep Club

Here is what started with right after christmas. Complete except the 4cyl engine for $800.



From there i started the deconstruction process








Put in a new floor pan







Fixed some intense frame rot





A couple weeks ago, I picked up this wrecked 92 for $350. I have since removed the motor,trans,all the wiring, gauges, tank...


Here is my rolling chasis as of today. Painted it with POR 15, Installed a prothane total kit, put on new shocks and stabilizer. I already bought $1700 worth of replacement stuff (seals, all the brake parts etc.) from quadratec. Can't wait to be done for the semester so i can get this thing on the road.

Lookin' good! Not much more noble than restoring a Jeep, well maybe restoring a Willys, but it's real close. Good work, keep it up.

Really nice work. Can't wait to see it done.

Sweet.

You are going to paint it red again right?

Sweet Rig, Welcome to our corner of thr world!!!!

Roland

Actually, I'm going for this color with all black hinges and flares.


I can get all that for $70
www.PaintForCars.com

I want it to look like this guys sweet rig.

That's perdy.

Your project looks like it's moving right along. Nice color choice! Also, thanks for posting the link to that paint company; their prices are reasonable. Keep us updated on the build......

Thanks. I thought their prices were pretty good too. I have their color chart if you ever want to see it just let me know. Otherwise its like $3. The semester ends April 24th so I'll be hardcore wrenchin' and takin' pics.

Can't wait to see it, nice color choice, that paint website is where I was going to order my paint for the TJ

i'm assuming you have a 65 impala? lets see it

You are correct. If I don't drive it to the rally on saturday, I'll soon post some pics.

looks nice, i remember going through alot of those stages.
your shackle choice looks a little spooky though

your shackle choice looks a little spooky though

Why? They are 2'' lift. Thats what was on there when I got it and I'm trying to spend as little as possible.

Yeah those shackles are going to sway really bad. An easy fix would be to weld a peice of 1x1 on the shackles between the spring and the frame mount. Make the shackles look like an H. Cheap and Easy.

Sorry guys, I let this thread die pretty much. I was more worried about finishing my Jeep I guess. Anyway, my jeep has been done since august 08. Here is the finished product.
