Michigan JP10

Post by Fleas_On_Parade » March 27th, 2014, 11:09 am

Hey guys. Been a lurker for a little while now and I'm finally happy to announce that I've got my base for my project! She's a '95 SE and paid a whopping $500 for it. I definitely got what I paid for :lol:
It's also my first Jeep and second car so it should be an experience :D

It's got some electrical issues (almost no interior lights work), leaks (mostly just window seals), holes (down in the footwells as well as a gaping one in the passenger floor), but she runs like a top. No oil or coolant leaks as far as I can tell and it shifts great.

I'm slowly making a list of repairs before I start on the conversion but I was so excited that I just had to show you guys!

Well firstly, congrats. $500 I'd say it was still a steal.
The rust looks bad though....very bad.
I'd get that sorted ASAP so expect a nice chunk of work ahead of you...but some great lessons as well :)

True...it runs...for 500 whatever happens its a steal!....the rest will be just fun and learning.

I mean only the top is like 100-150 bucks...working tranny-100$

Tires and rim 150$
So its good :D If you know a good welder everything is possible.

Well here's a pic of the inside.

As you can see, the rust hole on the driver side goes all the way through. It leads to a nice breeze up my pant leg if the window is open.

The radio is actually located in the center console. I was planning on moving it back to the stock location but there seems to be a leak somewhere that leads to dripping right where the radio would sit.

Speakers need to be replaced since they sound like someone playing a comb and wax paper haha

Thankfully I do! I definitely would have reconsidered the whole thing if I didn't :lol:
