Well, I know it's been quite some time since I've updated my build thread, but unfortunately I haven't had the time to work on the old Jeep, I can say that I've been buying up parts/spare parts for the truck all the time. In other Jeep related news, my father and I took a trip down to North Carolina last fall to pick him up an '83 Wagoneer Limited. The owner I bought the truck from did quite a bit of work on the Wagoneer, and it seems like it's always been well kept. The only rust areas I could find were the bottom side of the drivers door, a small section in the rear passenger side wheel well, and it appears that the passenger side lower rear quarter was replaced at one point, but not done correctly. I lost all the pictures on my phone that I had of his truck from the trip down there and back up, but I've managed to dig some up on my computer, more pictures will come to follow after I remember to snap some more..
Once we got the truck home we were able to give it a good going over, see what's missing and what needs to be addressed. My father intends for this to be his daily driver, so it needs to be reliable. Fortunately, the truck already had a Jasper reman engine put in about 400 miles ago, the transmission had been rebuilt less than a year ago, and the transfer case had recently been replaced as well. We gave the truck a good cleaning, pulled about 5lbs of leaves and pine needles out of each side of the fresh air cowl (thank fully there wasn't any rust in there, so it must have spent most of its time inside a garage. It's currently getting a Razor grill and round headlights fitted on to it.. oh yeah, I almost forgot, that engine got a little more get up and go power now that we threw a Edelbrock 4bbl performer intake and an Edelbrock 4bbl 600CFM carb on it, and a nice free flowing magnaflow exhaust to give it a nice rumble too
...that's a pretty good bit for now, I'll have to update again after I get some more pictures of it..
