Project Sleeping Beast


Recommended Posts

Alright. This is the begging of the saga. Thanks to many of you who have already been helping me out along the way. I figured it was time to start a project thread. I acquired an '87 MJ from a family member. It was up the firewall in brush so I figured I would try to get it running again. All I new at first is that it needed a fuel tank and the slave cylinder line was rusted out.

 

Here is a picture of us trailering it to my house

 

Here is a side view...on the trailer from the my car...the body is good shape. Only one rust spot on the floorboard.

 

In the garage...tight working space!

 

Started studying...I ordered the wrong trans book...so if anyone needs one let me know.

 

Hunting for misc. electrical issues...ended up being a few items like bad sockets and oxidized fuse blades.

 

Bumper off

 

My son helping out!

 

More to come soon!
