It started as a simple brake job .....

Yes, indeed. That's how it started.

I was only going to replace a wheel cylinder, maybe the master too. Then due to pitting in both, decided maybe the lines ought to go, too.

While I'm at it, the steering is more than a mite im-precise. Maybe I should wrestle the old Ross box out for a re-fresh at the same time?

And Hmmm! Those tub mount channels are looking an awful lot like swiss cheese. 'Suppose I could grind out the rust & weld in a new channel or two....

...all above sure would be easier with the tub off!

Oh Lordy, what a bunch of other ills I found in that process! Too late now, I've got a whole multitude of projects now.

More to follow.

 

Welcome to the while I'm right here club. R)
Our 1st resto happend almost the same way.

 

Btdt R)

It's amazing how it happens. Keep us posted and lots of pictures.:lurk:

 

That's why I ignore the loose steering and bad mounts

 

Don't look now, but somebody broke the seat on your little rollaround chair too.

 

It ain't broke....just well broken in R)

 

Nice shop!!

 

Yep. Same thing happened to me, only it was a water pump. R)

 

yeah, that photo looks like the tip of the iceberg. How's the rest of the place look?

 

I have one just like it R) R)

 

My, what a biiiiiiiiig roll up door you have! R)

Yup, all it takes is one loose nut to tear a Jeep apart!

 

Mine started with a leaky radiator. Now 5 years later it is still appart.

 

While I had the radiator out I decided to change to a 4.3 V6 and sm420, then disc brakes, then wanted to stiffen up the frame. The list goes on from there, but it has been worth it, as everything will be fresh, and I know every inch of my Jeep now.
