Wifes BDay Present............
 

In the middle of a deal for My Wifes Birthday present. I think she'll like it!!! AND hope she will let me borrow it!!!

SWEET!!!!!

Dude......I can assure that if I brought that home a Belle's birthday present I would never get to "use it" again!!

Ill have to use it for awhile......needs complete brake overhaul, steering is FUBAR from the columb to the box and on to the front end. Needs alot of work!!!!! But, ive been wanting a project like this for awhile. And She LOVES this body style!!

them jokers are freakin beast, my uncle had one when I was a kid that we would go muddin in when we were huntin......

Man that thing is sweet!

You have a cool wife there my friend :smokin:

x2 cause my wife would slap me if i brought that for her b-day and tell me to bring it back,LOL

Thats awesome!!
That thing will be sweet with a little work

It'll take months just to get it driving down the street right. Then off to.Corey's place. The body is as bad as the rest of it......its got a 390something AMC motor, and was covered from manual to auto trans. The whole thing is kinda rigged.....example, the clutch peddle is still there......should be fun!!!

Yikes be careful not to bight off more than you can chew, thats the last thing you want is someone elses problems

I'll fix em. Just hope he didn't get snagged on the purchase!

Body is one thing but sketchy drive train is another . . . . .

I've got people for that too. Purchase price is everything in this situation. That being said, I've seen those go for $30k+ fully restored!

No doubt they are a hot item, but im with you the initial purchase better be a good deal :smokin:

It ain't bad. I've built cars and trucks before. Shouldn't be a problem. I suck at body work tho!!

Me to here is my build getting shot for StreetTrucks in Arizona sorry for the hi-jack lol :D

Nice!!!! None of mine were show quality, just daily drivers.

just buy that jeep beside it and be done with it!!

Looks like someone was frying fish in that spot it was sitting:grinpimp:

Had a 77 Scout II like that in high school that I turned over several times. Extremely top heavy and narrow, mines had a 345 with a 4 barrel carb pos traction rear end and it would swap ends pretty quick.

Went by there again this morning. Were close to a deal. Its pretty much a basket case..... ALOT of work to get it right.

Carb needs rebuild.
So does steering box. Then needs to be mounted differently.
Not sure steering linkage is right either.
Brakes top to bottom. Major issues here
Wiring is atrocious!!! Not sure what they were thinking???
Got the wrong size wheels on it. Calipers are cutting grooves in them.
Etc, etc, etc.........

They just reposted it on LASportsman around 10 am.

Really? What they asking for it on there?

I think they been smokin crack rock!!! $6990 for something that needs a total overhaul???

Ouch!!!

$6995....
That's alot for the work it sounds like it needs.

Deal is done! She is pumped!! I'm dreading all the work, but when she is happy, I'm happy!!

Like all women, the silent button you get to apply when they're elated about something you bought them is only temporary!:rotfl:

Oh yeah.....soon as she sees what's its going to cost, she will pipe up again!!

Hope you didn't pay $7,000 for that piece of junk?????????:shaking:

He's gonna spend more than that with me though!:eek::rotfl:

Not even close!!!! And that goes for both if you!!

That thing would scare the hell outta me with the "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" mods. Ha! now I know why you liked it so much.;)

I didn't say all at once!:smokin:

Don't worry Tim, Corey will make sure to use plenty of analeze before he starts.:eek:

cool
 

that will be a cool ride there, i will keep an eye out for you in the lafayette area and give you a SC shout out when i see you :cool:

:work:Nice looking ride Tim I hope your wife has fun with it.

It almost killed me multiple times on the way home......Its really uncintrollable when the accelerator is applied. Then all the brake fluid leaked out!!! This is gonna be a fun build! At least I know the 4wd works! Needed it to get out if the ditch!

please tell me thats not the car lot off of johnston street..........

Hope you have deeeeeeeppppp pockets!!!!!! Have been around my share of Scouts & they get expensive!!!!!! We never could keep em in one piece:shaking:

Yeah, that's Jean Paul's place
