finally got the donor dismembered. Took it down across the scales and after some aluminum and brass goodies I got $379 back.... So my investment in my donor vehicle just went from a $650 purchase to a $271 purchase. I don't think thats too bad a price for a complete harness, steering column, complete dashboard, motor/trans/tcase, front and rear axles, driveshafts, pair of 6" pioneer speakers and a set of 4 15x8 cragar d-windows in pretty decent shape!

made a stop by an unfamiliar parts yard nearby and scored 2 complete door panels out of a 96XJ with the matching "woodgrain" dash trim. It even had a factory skid plate up front so i nabbed that as well. $60 for the whole deal.

Also managed to install the interior air box, wire harness, dashboard, steering column, brake booster and pedals. The engine bay harness will need some securing and a hole cut in the firewall but i'll picture that when it gets done

For this you can really guesstimate where it looks to fit like factory OR even make a cutout template of the passenger side and then transfer it
