Well took a break from building euro cars for a little bit while building up my jeep and enjoying it till I went a little big on the tires for a good daily driver on the highway. Looked around at what seemed like every option and thought why not go older american for a change.
Picked this old girl up the other day and have just been driving it so far. Brought it home with horrible brakes to find out there was no extra fluid in the res at all so the lines were mainly just old fluid and air. Got everything bled and they are better but still not very good at all. Also has a nasty exhaust leak I have no been able to pinpoint yet. other than that tho basically everything works well and it runs well minus the exhaust leak.
this will be a slower build. I will either be doin drop blocks and cut the springs up front or itll be bagged. Right now shes sitting on 15s which I think i will keep depending on the bag setup. Also stock tires are huge...215/75/15
A pic of the jeep which takes up most of my money. sitting on beadlocks and 37s with a 2.5" lift. Someday itll be full coilovers front and rear
