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

Re: Cj5 project
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$

Re: Cj5 project
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.

Re: Cj5 project
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.
