Revive Retro

So I am itching to get the engine wiring done but first gotta get the fenders on. Drug them out of the pile (or better yet my chev thats a mobile parts holder)

Stripped of all the parts and cleaned..

And painted. I only scuffed them up and knocked some of the rust off. They are in rough shape so it wasn't worth putting a bunch of time into them. But thats kind of the character of the rig.

Working on the front/rear wiring now.

So while the fenders were drying I got the front to rear harness done up.

Starting to look like a heep again

Start of the engine wiring. Started by ripping all of it out.

Crap removed and ready to rebuild.

Battery and battery hold down showed up.

Got the engine bay wiring all done. All the power feeds/grounds were all redone also.

None of the reverse lamp or 4x4 wiring was there (probably been gone for a long time).

I replaced the front marker lamps that were not there. Fired the system off/it started and ran. I ended up getting the tail lamps crossed so the turn signals were backwards lol. Easy fix at the connector. I also had to change the usb power feed from battery to ignition due to the blue lamp in the usb housing being on (had to re-route the voltage at the fuse block I added).

Been a long time since these lamps worked :redneck:

Cleaned the mess the jeep puke up :flipoff:

Shifters and shifter covers installed.

Pulled the seats/center console down and cleaned them up. Looking more like a jeep :cheer:

You have a source and p/n handy for that shifter boot? I don't think I've ever seen a combo unit like that, and it might just work for my flatty project...

I think the main boot is the stock CJ and the t-case shifter boot looks like the same one AA sells with there atlas t-cases.

Must have missed it (and I just went back through the thread), whats the drive train in that thing?

Obviously a good old SBC, but what is the tranny/t-case? T-case looks like a D300.

Its a 304 and not sure about the tranny(not original)mated to a d300.

I will have to ask bill what tranny it is.
