Build Thread 1979 CJ7 Rapid restore - 1 Year build from tired and rusty to all go and some show..
I dont mind working on drums and shoes, its been a while but it came back to me after I smashed a couple knucklesStrange how we can have a frustrating situation, but look back and say it's funny.
But, I do the same and that's how I've learned best - by making mistakes and going forward from there.
Rear brake shoes were a major reason why I went with discs. The Scout II drums are a bastard size (11x2.25) and I was informed that the shoes were getting difficult to find.
Looking![]()
This CJ is destined for full restoration. Once I get through all the mechanical and there is nothing left to repair or replace, I will be doing a new tub/body/paint (if I can find a new tub for a reasonable $ that is) and coating the frame at which point I guess it will be "done".. I almost typed that with a straight face, we all know it is never doneI can't believe this is going to be your beater until you buy something else. Geez it's gonna be 100% better than what I'm driving![]()
I'll agree to call it a mild addiction lolOh man. Has the Jeep CJ bug really bitten you!
Aluminum body is interesting.
