i'd do a frame up restoration and then teach the wife to drive it.
Dont forget about all of the "necessary" upgraded that are needed to the the restoration...

engine rebuild w/4.0 head done, now for the MPI

 

I don't want my wife to learn to drive my jeep. Selling it is definitely not an option. Go for frame off no question about it. Since you can't drive it you've got no excuse not to. My 2 bits

Can you fix it?
I got a welder and a grinder. Heck yeah I can fix it./wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

 

Lunatic,
I suggest that you save some money for the expensive insurance that the state will make you get to drive again.

No way don't sell it you'll regret it if you do I agree with the other guys do a restoration.

 

These damn restorations take so long anyway. The more you dig, the more you'll find, so start now. Don't get rid of it, you'll regret it and never find another like it anywhere.

I am going to keep it. I don't think I would find another one with a factory T-18 pa inspectable for 1000.00. The wife got me a line on a garage with electric. Hell she does not care I can still go to work and bring home the bucks. So I guess its time to wheel it hard until I have to turn in my licence. While the jeep is down and I am going to have the engine rebuilt do you think I should go for the 4.0 head conversion.

Are you having fun yet????

 

Hey Lunatic, Do you know where Waymart is? The home of Farview State Mental Institution for the Criminaly Insane.

 

i have got a better idea for ya.let me wheel your jeep around so i can start my frame up.sound good to you.hey now it was justa joke.now start tearin her apart

 

Why stop at the 4.0 head? Go for the whole engine and use the parts off your 258 to make a 4.5L out of it. Doing the conversion and figuring out the wiring should take a solid months time if you work straight through it.
