Here is "Tetty"

[beek15853]

Here are a few pics of my new baby, Tetty Blacksheep.
I used the following for the name... 1st. Tetty is short for tetanus for the many shots I will have to get while working on her and 2nd. the thing is the blacksheep of the family much like myself! The PO stated that he "spared no expense" when it came to repairs...as you can see from the pictures, he must have had a very small expense account! I am in the process of doing the following..
- new floor
- new TC (from a donor)
- new Tranny (from a donor)
- "pig nose" grill (from a donor)
- either a 2" or 4" BJ's lift
- remove the wood!!!!!!!!
and who knows what else!
I'll post pics and share along the way.

Wow! You might also look real close at the frame behind the gas tank. With the sheet metal rusted that bad you may have other structural issues like a rotted frame. :(

Nice looking wag, rust aside.

You have FAR too much room in your shop. :mad: :D

Your shop makes me jealous....I could fit 10 Jeeps into that empty space.......

Welcome.

Alright! Another rusty Wag saved from the crusher. :drivin: And I must say, I too am jealous of the garage. Good luck with your project!

Looks like fun I suggest some good leather gloves and goggles for when you go down under. Rust flakes hurt when they get in your eyes.:cool:
