Next step is to paint it black, which will be done in the next few weeks alongside some parts for the race Jeep. Hopefully all this means this chassis should not even start to rust within my lifetime.
Hey everyone. Diffs are off and no just have the tow bar and a couple other brackets to remove. I have sent pictures to a galvanising businesses for a quote and should be having it hot dipped in the next few weeks. Then I begin putting it back together! However due to limited funds progress will be very slow. I am beginning from the ground up so first thing will be rebuilt diffs with air lockers front and rear followed by springs and shocks. Since my brother in law was selling his 37" tyres I have decided to buy and run them so the Jeep will now be built to fit them which means no regearing is required but a lift will be.
More updates should be soon.
Cheers.
Tom.
Hey all, been a while since I updated this but its been pretty boring just dismantling everything. So far have stripped it down to the chassis and still have to remove the axles and brake lines. Pulled a lot of dirt from between the tank and frame but luckily just a bit of surface rust. I think the layer of clay on it protected it! Otherwise everyrhing looks pretty good and not a lot of work but who knows what may be under the paint. Once the chassis is absolutely bare I will cut off some of the mods the previous owner has added like battery mounts under the tray. Then I will strip and paint the chassis and start rebuilding!
Cheers for watching.
