Congrads! Looks like a good one to start with. What engine/trans combo you got?
 
It's got the 151 4 cylinder gm with a 4 speed t5 transmission but I might bore the engine out and I have a bigger cam for it and looking to put a webber carb on it
 
is it running or are you starting from a dead jeep and working towards your dream jeep? it looks like its in a junkyard in that picture. other then some windshield rust, or maybe a ton of rtv, it looks good though
 

That year jeep is my dream jeep so I'm restoring it but not really doing anything crazy maybe some bigger tires and suspension later on but that's about it and thats no junk yard haha that's actually my back yard there's two more cj5's back there but those are 1960's and the windshield frame is gone but I found a used fiberglass tub with the frame that I'm going to pick up for like 300$
 
Also it is not running currently the motor is on a stand in my dads garage were looking for the pistons he ordered some years ago that are hidden in the garage
 
Ha! sounds like the field behind my house. I've got a few projects back there. I may get to them and I may not, regardless they're there. Your jeeps got the wide track axels, would like to have a set of them for mine. I think the '87 model axels is what I really need to look for, I think they had Dana 44 rear.
 

Yea I'm not sure if this model has the wide track I know they started making the around this time but I'm not sure il have to check
 
Front fenders and hood and fire wall are good only one bad spot in the frame up front and some pictures of the other projects around the house the blue jeep is another cj5 the frame with the crack is also another cj5 and the prize possession of the vehicles the numbers matching 1969 camaro ss convertible (;

I had to make the back section of my frame, it was pretty bad rusty and broken. What about the camaro? I could come get it outta your way so you'd have more room to work on the Jeep.:)
