Still don't have the Birmingham up and running, Drill Press return spring still broken, and the Logan motor needs to be replaced.
And the house rehab is still dragging along.
So, my wonderfully, gracious, understandingbeyondwords, Better Half got tired of my whining and pining and went out and procured this for my Birthday:
1973 CJ5. With the 304/V8. (I may have wet myself when I raised the hood and eyed it.)
Sold my last CJ5 26 years ago when the kids came along and never thought I'd have another.
I learned how to drive in a '70 CJ5 while living in Colorado. Great vehicle to learn in - IMO.
Needs quite a bit of TLC to get it road safe, but the Ol' Beauty is running. How I don't know.
The wiring is a mess and the ignition components look to be 20 years old.
The great thing is that, this time around I have a shop setup and the tools so this is going to be a blast
and some great therapy. Really wish though that I knew how to weld...
I guess I'd better get the machinery in good working order.
