For those of you who don't know, I'm in Kosovo right now with the Natl. Guard, and my Jeep is in the shop. I got an email from my dad telling me how bad it really is. Need some advice from you guys, if you don't mind helping me out... here's the email:
Got a call from James (mechanic), he got your jeep started and pulled it onto the lift. He did not want to proceed until you really understand how bad it is. The frame is rusted through in a lot of places and the body sitting onto of the frames is rusted even worse. The wiring is trash like you already knew, and he is afraid of how many hours it will cost you to pull a whole new bridal assembly. The lower rear main seal on the engine is leaking real bad and that oil is running onto the clutch which it might have ruined or not. The brake lines all need to be replaced because they have been twisted and are rotting. The power seeking unit itself is shot not just the seals. He is afraid that to get it all running you could be talking allot of money maybe as high as 5,000 or 6,000 dollars.
Ok, here's the deal. I bought it cheap to fix it up and wheel with it at the same time. What do you guys think. I have the money, but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. Let me know...
