Teardown Part 1

So starts the teardown to see what I have to work with.  First thing was moving it into the garage.  This was accomplished by pushing it with a Dodge Ram 1500 van.  In the couple months my Jeep sat in the driveway it stopped running.  Fuel was no longer getting to the carburetor.

Some of the interior being stripped out.  Under the carpet was plywood being used for floorboards.  This was another thing I asked the seller but was deceived by.   I do not know why blue paint is on the interior either.

The front fenders and hood off.  As you can see more rust.  The top half of the shock is missing.  Years of re-wiring and half assed repairs are also visible.  But on the plus side the fuel pump looks brand new!

Lastly you can see just how much rust damage there is.

Just above the frames body mount should be a piece to mount the tub to the frame.  It is long gone!  Plus around the heater cores is major amounts of rust.  Found out why no fuel was getting to the pump.  The previous owner used copper tube to run new gas hard lines.  The tops had corroded through.  Which means no suction.
