Gave her a fancy car wash last night, then polished out all the scratches. And because I'm so cunning I went to a place that has a 48 hour weather guarantee. Polished out the scratches while in the garage while it was pissing rain. Now I'm just going to go back today and have all the residual gunk and wipe marks washed away.
I know, I'm cheap.

Default built a shelf and cupholders for back seat I also built a "dipspensor"

I built a shelving unit which i used the stock spare tire holder to secure it down.

And I built a cup holder into the back seat and built a dip dispensor to hold a log and a half of dip. (just a personal touch ha)

I have also painted the interior grey for a more relaxing feel

Replaced the pcv elbow, by far the easiest thing I have done on it so far! Also painted a little bit of the grill. And I'm still trying to finish welding in the floor so I can put my passenger seat back in

I went to take out mine today, and it was already gone! So I just cleaned my throttle body and put a coat of heat resistant rattle can on my air box and put it all back.

Got the manifolds off! Ready to pull the head. Bearings, water pump, oil pump, thermostat on the way. I bought someones headache!

Cracked 0331 head, and my guess is that he overheated it. I test the thermostat today and it was still shut at boiling.......

2000 Cherokee Sport. Nearly perfect shape. 108,000 Never been off of pavement.
