Good project to pass time with... looking forward to seeing it on the road! I agree leaving the battle scars gives it good character and looks more rustic.
 
Little more work today. I’m more of a grinder than a welder. But I’m learning.

I cut the patch off the wreck Jeep. Same year as the donor tub.

Getting there, I can finish cleaning up the metal until the cowl reinforcement plate comes in. It welds inside the tub.

Two days of metal work to remove the rotted one and the donor.

I’m really trying to restore with original parts. A repo was only $150.00 🥴

Grinding and pealing off the sheet metal was a bitch.

But it’s ready to go back in..
