After years of requests to rescue my Dad's 1967 CJ-5, he finally let me take her.
I knew that she had sat in his garage for nearly 20 years untouched, but what I found was more unnerving. My father had attempted a number of repairs and none were completed. Pieces of the drivetrain, electrical and body were dispersed in his garage. I gathered everything I could find, but have already found that plenty is missing.
Almost every major system needs a thorough overhaul. Engine, drivetrain, brakes, fuel and electrical all need serious attention. I love this Jeep and will post on all the steps I undergo to get her back on and off road.
I have read many posts thus far and have seen how knowledgeable and helpful the forum members are and hope to leverage your expertise. Allow me to thank you all in advance as I start this fun and epic journey.
