1990 Comanche "La Comanchita"

[Jossue]

Well this is my 1990 Comanche, my dad bought it about 15 years ago for 500 dlls cuz it didn't had the transmission, we got the manual transmission and then a cousin gave it some body work.

 

After that my dad used it for work and it received some hits cuz it was some rough work at a metals recycling plant, we got some big tires for it and a put a pair of increments between the suspension springs. The driver window got stuck and my dad broke the window trying to pull it up, so we changed the whole door for a white one. After dad we had a little crash nothing big, but the front bumper and part of the grill was damaged. As well once I left it parked, and a public bus crashed on it and the rear bumper was damaged and I got a new one but no the original one. 

 

 

So, when my dad died, I kept it, it was my daily use for college and work so i didn't have much money and wasn't able to repair the body, so i just did some mechanical fixes to keep it running, now I'm working as an engineer and have a little more of budget and I'll start to restore it, it definitely has had better day but  I´m going to make it look great again, I moved from 33" to 32" and made some repairs to the brake system, got an 2000 XJ front to do the conversion, somehow found the tail lights on fb market place and already took it to my cousin to another body work and paint.

 

 

And that's it, I´ll update this when the bodywork and paint is done, then I´ll get it a new stereo and start working a bit more on the interior that has a lot of work to do too.

Sorry to hear about your father. Sounds like you have a lot of good memories with him and the Comanche. I’m looking forward to the updates on this truck.

I like to see vehicles just keep running after lots of use.  I look forward to seeing the progress.
