1985 CJ-8 Scrambler Restoration

[Elroy231]

Yeah, she’ll look just like those pictures when I’m done with it. But other than the body and bumpers, she’ll be brand new. I have a rebuilt 360 that will go in with an AX15 trans and atlas transfer case. Someday soon I hope.

Nope. She may not play as hard as Bison, but she’ll see some trails

Seams only appropriate to allow a jeep to roam it's natural habitat . Some need more exposure than others.

A little more progress during the shut down.

Initial fill and sand is almost complete and the underside is complete. Going to blocking primer in a week or two and then we’ll drop the engine in.

All good things... but it sucks. At least he’s moving forward, but having it ready for this summer is not looking great.

Yes, as you guys mentioned, body shops tend to be a bit slow. It will be well worth the wait!

Thanks! When she finally finds her way back home, I’m sure I’m going to need your assistance on the rebuild of the old Warn.
