Strokermjcomanche Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 2wd 163k miles , decent paint / body , no engine. The person I bought it from took the engine/ header panel / fenders / bumpers and hatch and used them on his girlfriend’s RHD Xj that had a rod knock . Only rust issue is the driver rocker panel. What am I going to do with it ? I have no idea lol . One idea is replace the body panels he swapped out and throw just an engine in and keep it 2wd , or convert to 4wd while doing the engine.

Pete M Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 nice! that is remarkably clean for having such a gapping rust hole. down south that usually indicates it was sitting for a long time and that was the low spot where water collected.

Strokermjcomanche Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Pulled the carpet to clean it and the floors are in good shape. Also put down A coat of rust seal and fluid film to protect it in the future. Installed the four-wheel-drive shifter and pivot point for the linkage while the carpet was out as well.
