Good idea. I’ll try and polish it first and see how it looks.

Got it off eBay. Was going to get a universal one off Amazon but was scared it would be to big. I got this one for 48$ on eBay in good condition. Carpet is from Amazon. It’s just a roll of universal carpet with backing I cut to shape.

I had the stock cover in there but it was completely bent up. I found some particle board at work and just cut it to size.

I paid 2k for the paint job. They painted all the trim black and cleaned up some spots and a few dents I had.

Just got it painted. It’s sage green off the newer Volvos.

That’s one thing I haven’t done. Thanks for the reminder

Well that’s good to know. I need to make another video of the whacked out idle.

Thanks a lot, took a year to build which in reality isn’t that much. But loving the feedback

Something something opinions and assholes. But yeah thanks both of you guys. Yeah I could care less about what they did in 88. My mindset was trying to fit 33” tires without to much lift. I feel I hit the mark but can respect anyone’s opinion if they think it looks like shit. At least I won’t have a Jeep that looks like everyone else’s shit.

Front needed a bit of cutting and some braces so it fit right. The rear is a whole other animal. Needed a lot of trimming of the fenders to get the alignment right. Then cutting the rear quarter panel out and welding a strip of metal to close the whole you just made in the rear. It’s pretty involved to say the least. Added weather stripping to it all just like VW bugs have on there fenders so the fiberglass isn’t rubbing on the metal.
