New toy followed me home... - 05/19/13 09:49 PM

Couldn't help myself, ran across a deal on this 1975 CJ-5, 232 six, 3 speed on the floor, needs some attention here and there but it runs and drives and is rust free. Looks like someone spray bombed some primer all over it and attempted to cover up the original lime green

and after giving it a pretty through inspection it looks like they just threw it together to sell, bolts missing, wrong bolts installed, etc, etc. Now if I can just keep from going overboard on it and taking it apart into a million pieces...as if I didn't have enough to do...here we go again...

Looks like some sort of green

and yes, it's everything I can do to resist taking the tub and fenders off to clean and prep everything...my problem is I won't know where to stop...It'll look like a Jeep grenade went off in my shop...must...resist...

it has already started to snowball on you when you backed it into the shop.. now it depends on what side of the hill it runs down.. down the smooth side kinda fast....or rolls backwards over you going down the other side...

you ready to sell me the your truck now?

I love it when a stray follows me home... I really want an old CJ to fix up and I found one last week but I was too scared to ask the guy about because I was afraid he would actually sell it...

I still have an 84 CJ7 scattered all over the shop, it will NOT put itself back together!

Lol...ain't that the truth...the GTX is scattered across two states and half the shop...if I take this Jeep apart they might cross-polinate
