Had a Terminator Cobra hanging around my cousin's shop so I sized up his rear wheel/tire combo.
275/35/18 tire. Wheels are 10" wide
still have quite a bit of room.

Got the seat to move for probably the first time in a decade!
I thought it was just the coupler but I needed a whole new seat transmission because the old housing literally crumbled to pieces trying to remove it.

Filled my new ac compressor with oil. Getting it prepared for tomorrow's install
So today i actually remembered to take a camera AND to take some pix along the way
First up is the previous owner's frame hackery
I didn't take any pics during (old habits and all that) but this is done (I did round out the left end a tiny bit after the pic)
Other side
Hole cleaned up
Filler cut and handle attached
Filled and ground
Hole elongated and dressed, just had to clean up the stalactite by the fuel line.
Next up was seat mounting. For some reason, the PO hacked out the outboard seat mount to put the godawful nasty Cherokee seats in
After I removed the bracket from the sedan donor floor. I also added the split bench/bucket floor mounts and welded up a bunch of random holes they had used to mount the Jeep seats
Also fixed 2 stripped deck lid hinge bolt holes...no pics
It was a good day, finally got something done going forward. The frame deal probably wasn't a big issue for a lot of people, but it bugged the hell out of me.

Nothing major. Installed the little rear bumper C trim pieces, then had to work the driver door wiring boot into place...man that was a total PITA!!!! Then I had to fish the window wiring through to the interior.
Oh, then I took a pic of the trans. Just thought it is cool that it clearly states what type of badassery will be hiding under the body!

I put the Chevy style V8 mounts in this morning. A long extension and a 15 mm flex socket and it went together quickly . Front suspension is on but I did take off the tires.
Very nice repair work Ribbedroof. Looks like it never happened. I’m slowly but surely improving my skills.
I did get the engine and transmission in today , so a little more progress..
