cj7 rebuild

[carchameleon]

plan for tomorrow is to have the \"new\" frame end the night as a rolling chassis  :-)

Pull 2 or 3 all nighters and have it ready for Rausch  :-P

if only....
i failed at working on it today.....

tomorrow night i\'m going to get 1 axle installed, then thursday i\'ll get the other axle & the engine/trans/tcase installed
yep, that sounds like a plan

[carchameleon]

since i didn\'t have to work tonight, it became a rolling chassis :-)

you bolted that rusty stuff to that fresh painted frame? lol

[carchameleon]

more stuff attached to the nice frame tonight  :-P

it\'s not letting me attach the pic though....

the engine hoist isn\'t holding it up

have to line up the trans mount, its about a half inch off...

[carchameleon]

trans mount was fine once i tightened the bolts holding the cross member :-)

got the body mounted tonight :-D

working on the wiring...
got headlights & stuff up front working last night
more to go...

[etk300ex]

so you ran 2 wires :P

[MrMindless]

it\'s hard!! lol

[carchameleon]

new wiring harness took about a week, a few hours a night

buttoned up a lot of stuff & dressed the wires, tightened bolts, looked it over

took it for a drive down the street (just staying in the neighborhood), its hard to drive without a windsheild :-)
waiting for a seal, then new windsheild frame & then i can really drive it :-D
needs shocks too... details

[carchameleon]

here\'s a pic from tonight

[carchameleon]

i love my yellow frame :-)

the rest of the tub is kinda painted

had help swapping my glass into the new windsheild frame tonight, went smoothly & will be installed tomorrow after work

then i\'ll really drive it and win a bet :-)
