Spal fans are the best, but be careful with the straight blades- they like to break off if crap gets in there and impedes movement..ie dont go in mud

You want to send that to me? Along with a good phone number?

Stage 2
Remove all the wiring, guages, seats etc. Prep and paint.
There is some significant work to do on the windshield frame. It's an expensive replacement but the frame is toast where it mounts to the body and there are extra holes drilled in from previous stuff being bolted to it. It's hard to put $500 into a new one so I'll have to shop around.
I am 90% sure that I'm going to take out the detroit in the rear and run an ARB so that it's more road friendly. That means putting in an onboard air system.
A small rear winch needs to get put on.

Once it's pretty, back to Mikes to have the drivetrain put back in, do all the plumbing and wiring and drive it home. That's stage 3.

Stage 4 WHEEL IT.
