My Coupe project is on the sale block.
I shifted gears and need to go in a different direction, I picked up a 79 CJ7 and the practical side of me won out.
I would rather have something I can drive year round instead of a few sunny days a year.
So if anybody wants a 32 5 Window Coupe project let me know, I have it on CL right now.

Waiting on my hot side to get back from coating for my twin turbo 2012 Mustang. Then I need it tuned, a driveshaft, wheels, and some suspension parts so it can at least try to not spin the tires.

Who blasted it and what kind of a cost is involved?(if I may ask) I have toyed with getting the Jeep tub blasted or dipped before I even think of doing any sheet metal work.

You know the best part of working on a land rover for a shop? I can do everything right and fix the problem that it came in for and the driver will be driving away and the dash will light up for something new. It is great.

Looks like a normal british electrical behavior! I've had a POS Japanese car for the last couple of years that was plagued with electrical/computer gremlins, an asthmatic engine, and low gas mileage.... I am used to poor reliability by now!
Wasn't sure if you were working on "British" as well as "Bavarian" but I'll keep your info handy just in case....

I had Blast Tech in Englewood. Gary the owner was great to work with and did a great job. I removed the front fenders, glass,rubber, and emblems. ** Engine was not removed**
His crew did the removal of doors, hood, truck lid and blast .
Total cost was $1185. Took about a week .

If you need transport , let me know.

My project was an 89 Suburban. I put on a 4" lift it, 33x12.5 tires, posi tractin, 4.56 gears, rebuilt the engine - low high rise, cam, bored out, installed a hot rod transmission built by Monster transmission. It was red with a cream stripe, camel color interior. I had invested a ton of money and time. It was stolen 4 weeks ago. Police caught the guy when he tried to scrap it at Western Scrap iron. When I went to see it at the impound lot I walked right by it! The thief had repainted it black and white and destroyed the interior. I'm fighting the insurance co now. I have receipts for over 17k and they say the value is 3k! I HATE THIEVES!!

Blast Tech is the best in the biz…..
Gary is a stand up guy.

Its been awhile since I had a cool project. I lost my '68 Firebird 400 in a custody case a few years back; needed the money. It was tubbed with a 9", built RA III 400, and a Turbo 400 tranny.

Current Projects:

K5s ('76 & '77); one is a streetable trail rig and one will be more of a buggy. I have the axles sitting by the garage for the trail rig collecting rust so I need to get busy on it. Hopefully, I have time this fall and winter to work on it for next summer. Right now I hit the trails with my lifted Suburban that I use for plowing. It is way too damn big.

'79 WS6 T/A w/ 40,000 miles. I got this in high school in '89. It doesn't need much but I need to do the headers and exhaust. I also want to replace the smog cam with something a lot more aggressive.

I am selling my '97 Trans Am and '01 Yukon so I need to do some minor body work on them to get them sold. My Yukon was hit by the county plow, which dented the hood and broke the grill. I put an aftermarket Ram Air hood on the T/A 12 years ago, and I didn't have time to fit it back then so I get to do it now. The T/A also needs a clutch and the headlight gears replaced. I put a SPEC clutch in it when I did the 4.11s; what a piece of crap. I should have spent the money and went with the Centerforce.

That's horrible! Sorry about that!
