So... here's my Jeep. I mainly just need somewhere to put pics and I enjoy the commentary.
Started with this, I was planning to chop the top and paint it safety yellow.

As I was pulling the interior I spied this:

So I take it out from under the trees and start sanding and whatnot... and I go to start rolling on the paint and DOH!, I accidentally managed to grab my can of paint thinner instead of denatured alcohol to prep with so all of the paint turned into bubbles and ran off.

Of course this means I need to go wheeling! Unfortunately I didn't get any wheeling pics because about 10 minutes in I broke my passenger side axle. Har de har har har....

So pretty much I need to weld up the holes in the back and my buddy is fabbing up a small rear cage portion for me and we're going to fix that quarter panel. Oh, and I should probably fix that axle lol. :rolleye0012:
