Good project to pass time with... looking forward to seeing it on the road! I agree leaving the battle scars gives it good character and looks more rustic.

There's a couple small spots on the floor I'm feeling with. Nothing to bad.

Yeah, I turned my Scrambler into Swiss cheese compared to that. That’s great for the age.

Little more work today. I’m more of a grinder than a welder. But I’m learning.
I cut the patch off the wreck Jeep. Same year as the donor tub.
Getting there, I can finish cleaning up the metal until the cowl reinforcement plate comes in. It welds inside the tub.

Thanks China! Got some more time today.
The poor old roll over tub is getting scalped
I also welded in the foot to the brace today.

It’s a damn shame this was wrecked. it was a solid Jeep

Two days of metal work to remove the rotted one and the donor.
I’m really trying to restore with original parts. A repo was only $150.00
Grinding and pealing off the sheet metal was a bitch.
But it’s ready to go back in..
