This is how your gas tank looked once removed from the car. It is not something we would ever re-install here at CJ and we strongly recommend is that it should be replaced.

We have now completed the rebuild of your IRS and assembled your re-bushed/plated front suspension.

Back from the blasters - the news isn't too bad.....

Both front floors will have to be replaced	Air scoop under bonnet mouth is pretty beaten up	Bonnet generally in good shape

Your car is now completely disassembled and almost ready for the dreaded media blasting process!

I am pleased to report that your car made the journey from California to Texas without incident and the work will be underway in the next few days. I hope you enjoy watching the restoration unfold in these pages!
