Ag's jeepster build

[ageekwithajeep]

welp figured i'd start a thread

Here is what is looked like yesterday (sat) top off and styling

As of last monday it was not running. so i began trouble shooting this morning. Replaced fuel filter, lines and such came to the conclusion that the diaphram in the fuel pump was shot. the fuel pump is not rebuildable so i bought a new one/ ordered it today. 26 bucks for a new unit. cant go wrong Should be going again by tuesday.


Got some floor work done today, went over to Transformers house and did some grinding. ment to do some welding but we didn't bring our jig saw for cutting the metal so we just cut up the floor a little and made ready for next time. C ya next weekend trans baby.

Looking forward to the build. Are you going to resto., resto. mod, or buggy it?

 

[ageekwithajeep]

oh forgot to say that huh,

I am going to restore it/ mod it. So hopefully it will be fairly drivable on the road yet able to go anywhere off road. so 2 inch lift, full cage, the normal stuff. But i am not going to cut the fenders or anything of that sort. i just want a clean driver that can be a kick butt offroader

Here's the look im going for, as far as paint colors and just over all
