My 1982 Waggy

[fifesjeep]

At the bottom is a clip of the Waggy... It's not the prettiest and it's definitely not the quietest... The red marks identify the cancer that needs to be removed... Don't mind the engine bay and the mess/clutter I haven't gotten around to play/clean it up...
My plans are to get this beast on the road and then chop the top and remove everything from behind the driver/passenger seats... then go full rollcage and have a custom cover made for "some" protection of the weather... lol. The 1 tons will be rolling under her probably this winter or next summer.. I'm looking at moving the rear axle back 8" to 10"...

I still need to tweak it a little... I'd like to run true dual exhaust... 3"... nut if I do that I have to relocate the gas tank... So, it's currently looking like I'll have to run a 2 into 1 and go from there...

I'm digg'n the venition blinds you've got in the side windows (starting at time :24)

Glad to see you got it out of the shop. I finally got my front knuckle together this morning - after a calming ride around Yorktown park on the bike and getting the yard cut! Had class yesterday so didn't get anything accomplished

I still have those brake line adapters... I have them soaking in penetrate oil...
Ventilation blinds?... I can't view the link until tomorrow...

VENTIAN blinds - like the ones inside the windows in the house It was the reflection of the siding on the windows, looked like you have pull up Venetian blinds inside the WAG

I've been busy on the Waggy... I actually have to update this thread (can't do it here at work though )... I did get the HEI and 8.5mm wires shipped to my door for $113.45 from Whites Performance... These guys are awesome to deal with and their shipping is SUPER FAST!!! I measured the lengths and diameters, everything measured good and fit perfectly. I'll have to post pictures of the quality machined housing =D>

Well, here is a little update of the Wag.

When I got her.





After I got bored with her.






Now that the top is off and the face lift is 80% complete, it's time to start on the roll-cage. An awesome guy in NN Va bent me up three hoops, I gotta wait for the fourth (there seems to be a shortage of DOM)

Front hoop bent and being held inposition by string



These next pics you can see where the 4th hoop is needed...




Here is a pic of the rear with a Ford Bronco 33gal fuel tank... She sits low but, once I finish the new 1 ton rear, 4" springs and some 38's she'll be away from the ground... Future plans are to fab up a skid plate made from 1/4" plate.



Well, this is short and to the point... I'm current measuring for a custom t-case shifter (for a TH350/Ford 205 combo)...

I dig it! Man, I really need to find me a new project vehicle....
