Not yet, I should in the next week. I have been gathering and fitting. Just got the headers and to keep from fouling them at full stuff I have had to set the eng back 3" or 4". Now have most everything on hand. I will have to initialy build with the 435/204 then replace with tl/203/205, can't afford the adapters just yet. Still need a TJ hood but will have to fake it. Will post soon as more pics.

Did you just walk outside one morning and ...there it was??? Wish it would rain Broncos here. I could use a parts vehicle.

A bit of an update. I got the body and frount clip dummied up and found that the setback needed to be more like 11". I cut the frame horns off and fabbed a winch mount welded to the front crossmember and replaced the horns working them into the mount also a hitch receiver was put on as a part of the mount. I started working the body and found that it was too badly damaged in the fire. I have since reaquired my 87 YJ now minus the engine, hardtop, and hard doors but with half doors and fresh 4.11s with a detrooit locker in rear. I am going to remove the YJ from it's frame and transfer to the BJ. I had the interior Linexed and it is good enough to have the original paint. What I plan is to move the tires forward in the front wheel wells and use cutout flares on the rear moved back as much as sheet metal will allow. I should wind up with 96 to 100 in wheelbase. The rear suspension will be front coil buckets, shock buckets and radius rods installed on the rear as well. These chances should allow a faster finish. I picked up a couple of range boxes and have a big spline top loader that will probably go in as an upgrade later.



The willys is still taking a nap but I have been picking up additional sheet metal and trim parts as I find them reasonably priced, I'll have 200 in the bed instead of over 1500, also the lights cost 50 instead of 500.

I have started another pashion which I intend to produce kits for. I am in the final throws of frame design for a V8 powered Lotus 7. It will be along these lines. Specs with most everything on hand:

Roller 392(351)(EFI, drysump), T5, IFS using SN95 with 12" disks, IRS using 00 Cobra R and SN95 with 11" disks, 95 Cobra R wheels front 17x9 with 255 40 17s and rear 17x10.5 with 315 35 17
