Man an old Scout is a find gm!

Nice parts source there Mike. You can always go back now that you know where some parts are.

I cannot beat the sideways pic phenomenon. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

That windshield looks really good! Great find!

I do not need another project either, but still can't resist looking through marketplace for anything cheap and desirable. I'm a through and through Willys guy, but if I found a great deal on a first-generation International Scout 80, I'd have to find room at the rust ranch. One came up local here a couple months ago, but it was a typo at $800. It was back up the next day for $4,000, to which it was too far gone for that.

Yeah it’s in pretty good shape! Has some door/top brackets attached so that may come in handy later as I do have some door frames.
I hear yah on the other projects. I am always looking even though I’ve enough already to get me through my golden years, ha! That said, I may or may not have purchased a ‘66 Land Rover 2A that I’ve been lusting after since I first saw it almost 30 years ago!

Yeah it is definitely worth saving and quite tempting!

I made a little bit of progress over the last couple weekends and filled the 2A hole that someone had hacked into the side of poor Sweet Chee! Got the pioneer tools installed and I’m pretty happy with the result!

I dropped my original fuel tank off at the shop last week to get cleaned out and patched up (and probably lined) so that’s ready to go if I ever get this thing closer to moving under her own power!
