Bought another Comanche... Fix or Recover Parts and Scrap?

Update:

 

Went to look at that '93 XJ. He would not budge on the price... :nuts: The underside was covered in rust. The axles we're very rusty as well (like flaking away). Definately a northern XJ. Definately not worth what he's asking even with new calipers and brakes all around and two new tires.

 

Definately not going to scrap, just gotta be patient and find the right donor for the right price :thumbsup:

Mainly delivery trucks/ bread trucks. Plan on spending 2K for a runner, with or without truck. I would recommend getting the whole truck to be sure you have everything to run it.

I like the ol' Benz 5-banger if I were to do it. :cheers:
