Members CJs My New To Me 1979 CJ5 304

[Harley48]

Hello all and thanks for the welcome! Here's my new to me '79 CJ5 . She needs some TLC but has strong bones. Not my first jeep (I had an '87) and I'm not new to restoring vehicles although my last few have been antique Harley's. It's always a wild ride!

Looks like a good project. Looking forward to a build thread when you get started.

Fiberglass body I see. How badly is she rusted in the frame?

Its a Florida jeep so no rot underneath. I've got the steel parts to replace the grill, hood and fenders as soon as i get over hernia surgery lol

A FL Jeep in Cape Cod! That's one heck of a commute!

I was afraid she was a North East Jeep like mine and in terrible shape
