89 MJ Posted August 9, 2019 Author Posted August 9, 2019 With the help of my parents and little brother, the interior is finished and the bumper, grille and header panel are on! Tomorrow is new rod bearings to fix the knocking. More pics tomorrow of how it is currently. And the mirrors are painted and installed.
