Looking nice, Good luck with Wyotech, I graduated from Blairsville in Dec 05, I had a good time up there and learned a decent amount, But job placment was a joke, I sent out 60 resumes and got 2 calls, and now Im working 2 jobs I coulda got outta HS, In my opinion I woulda been better off money wise finding something local for training, cause student loans are rough

When u get a chance I put some pics in my album I can't figure out how to put them right in the thread I think it turned out great if all goes well tomorrow ima put the interior back in

parkerbabco

got this cool dash from a waggy put in.. didnt like the plain black and the wood kinda matched my interior so i figured what the hell why not

parkerbabco

put new speakers in and a new rear windshield wiper motor in it.. the old one got locked up and was junk.. will put pics up later

projectmayhem

i need pics but keep workin on it i got most of my bumper done

i have that same mini tach, wut wires did you hook up to?

parkerbabco

well heres a pic of the new windshield wiper motor.. took it out of a 95 and this is a 88 and the wiring was different .. the 95 was a 5 prong plug in and the 88 is a 3 prong and the relays were different but i just choped up some wires and made it work for mine ..


im putting a tow thingy on the back.. NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANYTHING LIKE A TRAILER .. only gonna be used to pull me out of a mess.. im going to weld it together and stuff friday so i will update it on friday.. heres a pic of it dissassembled


remember that stud i broke off.. well i never took it out and drove it around and the wheel locked up so i threw it in reverse and gassed it.. it started to move again but felt like it was gonna fall off so i took it home slowly and took the caliper and rotor off and find 2 pieces of the stud and you can see where one piece went through my dust shield heres a pic of the dust shield


so i started to make a switch panel for the jeep.. not finished yet im gonna cover up the sides of it.. i know there is only 3 switches but im gonna have more coming thats why its so big for only 3 switches at the moment.. one is for the lights... one is for the remote start bypass.. and i kept hearing about people putting a switch on the electric fan so i said what the hell i got nothin else to do why not put one on mine .. heres a few pics




well i finaly ripped out the front carpet and to my suprise it doesnt look too bad at all ..especialy for a 88 .. my 95 had way more then this

projectmayhem

cut that front padding under the dash out it works much better, good luck with it

why not mount the switches in the dash under the air controls there is a pocket there right just get some abs plastic cut to the size of the opening and mount it to the front of the pocket. will be much cleaner. and use the same switches for the different things so it looks more professional looking. but other wise it is looking good.

I'm not really digging your switch set up. especially the size of it. Maybe put the switches where the factory ones are supposed to be, if you have ones open, like by the rear wiper and rear defrost. Its coming along great tho.

parkerbabco

got it welded up .. no need to tell me my welds suck because i already know.. im not the greatest welder this was just added strength i already got bolts holding it together but i figured id weld it too..

matejcekautoworks

eh they look ok, but good for a beginner. good luck at wyotech, i gradutaed lst year, job placement sux, but the training is second to none

parkerbabco

yeah im trying to learn i want to do some fabrication stuff.. im looking forward to going to wyotech sorry about your luck with job placement hopefully ill have better luck

matejcekautoworks

all depends on how far ur willing to travel i guess

a1racer

your welds don't look to bad but it looks kike you have no penetration on the bottom piece. could just be the pic though
