Hi again, joined about 9 months ago as I finally found a 2 door 'project' in the UK (England) but shamefully after picking over it, stripping it and kicking it I decided that all I was gonna get out of it was a parts sale and scrap value (and having no floor whatsover due to rust kinda affected the scrap value). That poor old girl is my avatar.
Anyway, we have a fairly small jeep community in the UK, and an even smaller FSJ community (3 of us at the last count :D ), but I have had feelers out for a long time now trying to track down a barn find etc, so was made up to get a phone call a few weeks ago to go and have a look at one. Amazingly turns out to be pretty mint (I have only ever seen rust buckets over here), and bargain price, and also had to do 2 trips with the rear seats out just to shift the spares it came with, so now have myself this:
:banghead: man alive, just spent 30 mins resizin and ruinin the quality of the pic to fit in with the sites sizing options, and still no good, someone wanna give me a steer on how to do this?
Let me know and I will post it up :thumbsup: its a 2 door 79 narrow track with a 360, TBH I really wanted a wide track so that will be the first change, its probably an indication of how badly the bodies rust over here as the widetrack axles are fairly accessible. Annoyingly I had a pair myself pre-xmas as I was toying with the idea of sticking them on my CJ but then money got tight before xmas (4 boys) so I sold them.
Thats about it, good to be back, much easier to get invovled when u actually have a FSJ.
Cheers
