Members CJs The Bondo Brat

[Phoenix827]

Hey all, this is soon to be mine. Yes it's a project, yes it's a pile, but I am (hopefully) going in with both eyes open. How it got it'ss name should be obvious, it's loaded with bondo and I already know it's gonna be a problem child. These are the "good" pictures lol.

It's a 77 CJ7 , NOT an 8. Someone hacked a half cab and bed onto it. AMC 304 engine looks healthy, GM Turbo 400 leaks but looks ok, tcase i don't know but the linkage is all buggered up. Frame is rusty but no rot that I could see. Has power steering but manual drum brakes. Getting it for $550 so not expecting a lot, as I said it will be a project.

I saw that on here, would be a LOT easier than patching, even if the new tub had some rot.

There really wasn't a Levi (Edition) Edition per say. It is a interior package. Click the link below for our Wiki article.

Editions

Editions The 462, the forerunner of the Renegade package Kaiser saw the sales of the Jeep slip in the 60s and was wanting to cash in on the muscle car trend with the CJ5. They made a special version they called the 462. It was a step to improve the reputation of the jeep among the off road and...

Wow! I've been looking around lately at early Broncos for sale, and even the worst of those didn't have nearly the rust or bondo.

I think this 5 in our boneyard might be in better shape Have fun with it though.
