Hey you all, just wanted to post some pics of a project I have been working on for the last few months. Its not my Jeepster, but a clients, and I have been helped out so much by this site. I'm not a professional mechanic, just acollege student that was lucky to get this summer job. Lots of thanks to Ryan the Jeep Guy, Mark Vilbert, Jim Serr, Bruce at Carnage Offroad who is sending me a lift kit and bushing. This has been a fun project, know if I could only afford to do a restoration like this on one of mine some day. Its about 90% done, but I figured Id attach pics to show the progress so far. Thanks again for all the help! First pic is the before.

Re: Pics of a project
That before shot looks better than some of the after shots of Jeepsters I've seen on Ebay [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Like that color too, can't wait to see it done. Might have to change my color choice for the wifes HC. What color is that?
If your talking about the silver, its 2005 Cadillac "Light Platinum" If your talking about the before green, Im not sure, but I think it was sprayed with a house paint spray gun, it was very thick, lots of over spray all over, and pealing alot. It looked OK in that beofre pic, but up close there was ALOT to do, tons of rust to repair, and I went threw ever component on it, was quite the challenge, but the fun part of it coming back to life is here. Thanks for the compliment.
