Here we go
I'm gonna get you some pics, the updated cost list, and a shopping list.
So if you're just catching this blog and build .. I'm sorry you have so much to catch up on. Here's a quick recap.

Now, that you know what I'm in for-- unless you're a blooming idiot. Here's some pictures to show slow progress. This is a no judgement zone- a girls gotta work to pay for her Jeep to have a better life!
The bolts are in, happy camper fuck it & cut it if it won't budge!! WE GOT THIS!
After Magic Mike the Metal Man took such great care getting the tool box out, we realized it was connected to that shitty floor and half of its missing... Maybe I can still use my original lid? I hate that gut wrench feeling of damn another beautiful original piece that can't be saved 😒 If you don't get this statement.. this blog is not one for you. Tater is my rough beautiful diamond, she will be polished. Also, keep in mind, I just wanna drive this thing. I don't want her perfect. I want her in motion. Mike is the perfectionist of this project.
Measure 2ce, cut once. No worries on those cut lines I don't use my breaks and they all needed replaced anyhow.
I do have some things still left to purchase.
I'm going to have my seats redone- $600 estimate
new windshield $180 estimate
Tool Box
Seat belts
Temp Control
Steering Wheel ✅
Horn that hopefully works with the wheel✅
Speedometer Cables✅
Brake Cables
wipers- anything I might need.
Headlight bezel x2
Headlights
YEAH WE GOT THIS!
