This is a good project car. As I mentioned, I began to restore it and lost my job and found out my wife is pregnant. Now I need to sell my project. The stock I6 runs well. Under high demand, like up hill, there's a little stutter which I'm thinking might need a card- rebuild at some time. There's no smoke and it runs very smoothly even at a very low rpm idle. I began to restore the car and replaced alternator, and fuel pump. it's a very easy car to work on. All of the drivetrain is in good working order. The 4WD works well, all gears shift smoothly, clutch seems to engage where it should, This vehicle has the stock from disk brakes with rear drums. In another life it was raised about 3 inches and 33's were added to it. It has Warn locking front hubs. As I mentioned it mechanically it runs well. All the gauges work well, fuel level sender, oil pressure, temperature sensor, amps...etc... As far as the body, the floor pan has been replaced in the back. Some of the welding spots need to be ground down. The frame is solid with only minimal surface rust. There are some spots that will need repair but overall it's one of the better restoration candidates out there. It seems like the gauge of steel used for the body is very thick. I tried to show pictures of wheel wells and floor, all of the weak spots! As far as the bad, the exterior driver side door handle is broken. The carb needs rebuilding. It does not have a radio. There are some rust spots that need repair. It could use either a frame off restoration of some body work and a quick paint. I think with a little work this could be a driver will minimal work. Not mounted but included is the licence plate holder, rear outside spare time holder and spare time.
