Yup she is an amazing woman, I just gave her the tools and pointed out what bolts needed to be removed and she happily slid under the car and dropped the driveshaft, removed the power steering pump, helped with the fuel pump, etc. i am definitely hanging on to her!
So got a call from the machine shop, long block will be complete at the end of this week, he just wanted to know what color I wanted it in. sweetttttt
Well had a lack of progress due to work commitments and such. I bought a Jeep last year because I thought off-roading would be fun, but it turned out to be a money pit POS so I sold it and swore never to get another Jeep again.
Well for some crazy reason I pulled the body off the frame and restored the frame.
Now I want to finish it! Have to finish the bottom of the body and pop it back on the frame with new bushings and bolts. My goal is to drive it by the end of 2013, even if its in primer with just a dash and a front seat.

Lookin' good, man.
Good to see you're back at it. At least you have a goal. Stick to it and you'll be on the road in no time.
Keep up the good work!
