Title: New Sami
Post by: crewcabrob on September 03, 2012, 06:29:49 PM

Hi,

I bought  a Samurai today.  A 92 JL with 167000 miles.  Very solid with just a little rust on the panel behind the door.  Here is a picture until I get some more tomorrow.

So, my father and son accompanied me on the trip to pick up the Sami about an hour and a half away from my residence.  It drives pretty good, nothing too crazy and pretty much as I expected.  The top is shot on it and came off as soon as I got home.  I should have taken it off before I started home, but it threatened to rain most of my 90 minutes in the Sami but never did. 

As I said before, it has very little rust and what is there is surface only.  No holes.  The frame was undercoated and still is amazing.
I guess let the fun begin.

It's dirty... The guy i bought it from drove it every day 18 miles on gravel roads with a top that wasn't fastening.  The inside and outside are most likely the dirtyest vehicle I have ever been in.

But, it is clean as far as a fresh canvas to start my build!  :)

Thanks for your help with my threads!

Nice one!

Knowing your intent you might be intertested in some extra storage.  I took a map pucket off a TracKick door and mounted it to the trans tunnel on the psgr side.

That looks like a great idea.  I'll track something like that down.

I have lots of plans for it.  I started a build  thread that I'm trying to update as things get done.  I finally have parts now, so updates should start up again.

The name of my build thread is: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

That looks like a really good starting spot Rob. Be sure and snap lots of pics.
