    Hello from North Cackalacky

    Hello all. I have been a member for a while now, but this is my first post. I am a car nut and am currently restoring a 1988 Grand Wagoneer. I have been working on it off and on over the past year and so far have replaced most service items like brakes belts hoses tires shocks, body bushings etc. I also stripped it to bare metal and repainted it last fall in my garage with Base Coat Clear Coat. Pics are below. Don't be tooo critical. This is my first paint job. I am having some issues with the engine and plan to start a thread on that subject. Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself first.

            welcome

            Looks like you found a solid rig to start with.
            Welcome from a native North Carolinian.
            Looks like you did a fine job on the paint. The woodgrain also looks stock. Did you source some good vinyl for that? That stuff is hard to find with the original look.
            One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.
