My 1985 BJ70

[BJRB]

I bought this BJ70 from Canada from its first owner. The car had some rust but overall it was in really good shape to be a Canadian. I had some body work done to it and the interior. The bottom piece of the door frame where rusted and I had the body shop remove them and fabricate new pieces.

Well, here are some pictures from the build















Noticed that there was some rust on the underbody, but not bad at all!! by the way before it was a high mess of oil and dirt build up.







There was some work done to the chassis by the previous owner




Ready for the paint



Upholstery work in progress. This Brazilian dude is GOOD!

that is looking great. Since going from a forty guy to a seventy guy I don't get to see as much revival threads.

What's your long term mod plans for it? Turbo, winch, lockers? What also is your intentions for it: DD, weekend warrior, wheeler, beauty queen?

Keep up the good work and pictures coming!

Thank you! So far, I have a rear bumper on the way. I was planning to sell it but now I think I changed my mind.
So, after rear bumper I will start looking for an ARB front bumper to continue the process. I have been driving her once or twice a week to go to work, and on the weekends. Not planning to take it off road just yet : ( too much work and money spent so far, and she is really noise free inside the cabin (except for the diesel engine) I really don't like when they sound like bag of cans on the inside. For now just Beauty queen and garage kept I guess.
Here are a few more pics and I will be posting some good ones this weekend.
