Been super busy, but...
Oct 22nd, I borrowed a vehicle tow rig and took the GW down to the painters...
This is the panel the body shop replaced after the accident. They said it had zero rust. It did too until I removed the vinyl.
When I bought the Jeep, there was a pretty good sized ding in the door that 2 different shops said would be about 500 bucks to take out. I found a door (after looking for a LONG time... GWs aren't easy to find around southern Idaho) and was apprehensive about putting it on. I shouldn't have been. The door itself was on in 20 - 30 mins. Getting it to close right and hang just so took another hour.
After 2 weeks, I went back down to the painters to take more photos...
They filled in the holes a little too well! The lower tailgate holes where the chrome plates go were welded and covered... oh, well. I will have to tap them when I go to put everything back.
Notice the rusted spot... GONE.
When she comes back, I am planning on some dynamat on the doors. Maybe inside the door too... not sure.
Other things needed:
Muffler
Suspension - (bjs, skyjacker... dunno yet)
Seats recovered
Retro-Radio... I want bluetooth while I run around
Short list. Much shorter than when I started 2 years ago!
