I will try to post more pictures tonight. I was unaware that it is a
CJ7 . I have been told it was a
CJ5 . What is the difference other than wheel base. As far as running, it does pretty good. I had a few problems that I have fixed. The engine was running a bit on the hot side around 215 degrees at warm idle. I put a fan shroud which took care of that problem. There also was a loud screeching sound from the front of the engine. I started with the water pump and it seemed fine. Then I took a look at the harmonic balancer and it also seemed fine. Took off the timing plate cover and come to find out that 1 bolt to the cam drive was completly off, 1 was half way off and the other was just finger tight. Luckily I caught it early enough that it didn't cause any problems. It has a 350 with a turbo 350
Transmission . The
Transmission was leaking oil around the pan so I bought a new filter and gasket and took care of that. Next I plan to take the body completely off and fix some rust spots. The driver and passenger floor is rusted out, the back corner gaurd is in bad shape and the two spots below both doors are in need of some work also. I have already purchased two used fenders in great shape for $40 for both. I will definately get some pictures added so I can know what I am working for. What type of paint remover did you use?
