Goodbye my old rusty friend - Jeep YJ

So as I mentioned previously, I wanted to share some pictures of how our YJ Jeep project turned out.  My son bought this as his daily driver, and 8 months later, the weekly repairs had become too much; I know...it's just a "Jeep thing".  We spent a ton of energy and effort finding each missing piece of this Jeep...so many parts were missing when we started.  Like my Ghia project, the wiring on this car was a mess.  We had to replace the ECU right out of the gate, but the tail lights, radio, washer, etc. were all wired wrong.  We bought a hard-top for the New England Winters, replaced the center console, repainted the wheels, rebuilt the suspension, replaced the clutch master cylinder, replaced the fog lights...twice, fixed a horrible oil leak, built custom speaker boxes, new spare tire cover, fixed the mangled bumpers..........

Not that this was our objective, but we made money on this re-sell. You would probably never guess this based on the (partial) list above.   I hope the new owner gets a lot of enjoyment out of it.
