bare bones stock 95 with a D30 up front C8.25 out back and a NP242 TC
the 4.0 , trans and TC will be staying the D30 is gone and the C8.25 is on its way out
a waggy D44 is going up front and XJ 44 in the rear
hoping to do a 4 link rear have to figure that out yet would be alot easier if i want to go full width
there will be a custom dash fabricated
battery relocation with dual batteries to be moved under the rear seat which will also be custom made
anyway on with pics
getting it gutted , cutting the rusty rocker out, and doing removeable door mod
rockers will be replaced with 2x6x3/16 tubing and braced back to the unibody after the unibody stiffeners are welded in
