The Official Jurassic/Tomb Raider YJ Project

[Chaos]

In this big project there will be alot of stages......maybe too many stages ( Maybe we need a its a trap smiley??? ).....but here we go....


Stage one: Fix and replace the sheetmetal on the drivers side which will involve a new pan and new metal right by the Jeep logo where the last atempt by a local bodyshop to fix it was a major FAIL , rear corner on pass. side ( Rot underneath ) and straighten out minor hit on pass. side below the door.

I'll take pics of the problem areas and present accordingly

i suggest street signs for new floorboards. they dont rust and they're freeeeeeeeeee :brows:

[Chaos]

In town they still have a few buckle up signs w/ "e.t." on it.....those would def. be one-of-a-kind floor boards.


The local stoners took all the others that were left.....

First update on Stage 1:

In a moment like Monster Garage, I did get alot of sheetmetal for...." Freebie"....

The new floor pan is cut as well as the new rocker pieces and rear corner with possibly enough left over to make up some body protection.....Pic's WILL be up by tomm....

pics?

[Chaos]

I know, I keep forgetting the pics.....im running outside to take a few.....The rot on the side is finished....patched, smoothed and painted and came out prety good...and instead of buy an expensive set of Rubicon Black hinges, I made my own and def. adds a bit more realness to the YJ. This weekend is the floorpan....

[Mike]

have fun with that. When i did floorpans on my xj, it sucked.

[Chaos]

Here are some of the pics.....The floor pan since these were taken has been completed....Im picking up the windshield frame and glass and rear suspension later this week...
Next week is the rear brakes and besides the rear corner, all the repairs are finished.

Major update 1/4/2009:
