The garage is still a mess from the fire. However the kids are back to school so I have some free time. Ken and I made some progress on the restoration today.

We got the steering all connected and the wheels aligned with a 2mm toe-in as per the manual instructions.

Basically I am civilinizing my GPW frame to properly accept the CJ2A body and parts I have. Not cool to some but like I have previously posted I am just building a Sunday driver with the parts I have acquired.

It feels good to be wrenching again.

Are you sure that is a re-build or a brand new Jeep being made in a factory? OMG

Transmission next. Then transfer case.
I have a T84 and a T90. I think I'll go with the T90. Sounds like it's a better (stronger) transmission with easier to source parts.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Honestly I have no idea what I'm doing. 
Lots of YouTube videos and lots of reading.

I am spending the weekend watching 

If anyone is in the Vancouver BC area please drop in for a beer.
I'll keep building and posting.

Jon

It's time to order my new T90 parts.

Alright, now I know what notch you we were talking about in your PNs. At least you didn't lose the springs or poppet balls. I've lost a few of them in them in the past and no matter where I search for them, they always show up about 6 months after I bought new ones.

I think it might be ok, but if I need T90 parts I'll check with you first.

Thanks

Really nice work. For someone who doesn't know what they're doing, you really look like you know what you're doing.

When I got Ol' Unreliable, it had that shifter lever on it and for some reason, it made my right shoulder hurt like being stabbed when I shifted to 3rd.  I had to get a shifter from some other T-90, without that curved bend in order to drive the Jeep.

There is an old saying about how we should learn from past mistakes Lets just say I've learned a lot over the years.

I have done most things on this jeep twice and some 3 times. But I'm getting better.

That's called learning right?
