Car Forum / Jeep / March 2007Like a dope, I bought another Jeep.
Like a idiot glutton for punishment, I bought another Jeep: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150101747837&ssPag eName=ADME:B:BCB:MT:31 God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Dan's first rule: The stupid shall be punished. Nevertheless, it's actually the best looking Commando I've seen in quite a few years. There are virtually none left in New England. Have fun, and enjoy your punishment :) > Like a idiot glutton for punishment, I bought another Jeep: > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150101747837&ssPag eName=ADME:B:BCB:MT:31 > God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 > mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > Dan's first rule: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -- > > Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com I dont like it. Cj5 or 7 maybe but not a commando fan unless it means wearing no undies On Mar 20, 11:25 pm, "L.W. \(Bill\) Hughes III" <billhug...@cox.net> wrote: > Like a idiot glutton for punishment, I bought another Jeep:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1501017... > God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 > mailto:LWHughes...@aol.comhttp://www.billhughes.com/ > > -- > Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com Looks like a good project.

It doesn't look like it got that many miles, other than it's been left out in the sun, it's got the stock looking white walls. I remember the plastic timing gear would give up at about seventy thousand miles, which used to fool a lot of mechanics, those that don't know to retard the spark, to test start. Oh well, the Chevy will bolt to the Hydromantic. God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > What's wrong with it that it doesn't run?

The T-400 is one of the best autos out there and the 225 is a tourqey little sucker. Power disk front brakes would be a wise add-on. Pretty cool, have fun with it!

NONE was better in any way than my 1976 (I think) Jeepster. Used it a lot down Sandy Neck on Cape Cod towed down as a dingy to my "bread truck" beach buggy... even with my wife driving it that J was unstoppable in the sand. Your pix makes a geezer pine for the old days :) mike j Very nice Bill ! I wish I could find a nice rust free Arizona vehicle like you did.

I was wondering if I was foolish for just getting into working on cars(well my YJ anyway) the past 4 years when I was just 48! Looks like a it will be fun. Another Four hundred and fifty bucks in freight later, it's home, I removed the rest of the rag top, put my CJ-2A license on it to keep the local Gestapo happy, but managed to smash the other fender and bend what was the only straight bumper I've seen, trying to reposition it in my driveway: http://billhughes.com/jeepster.jpg New radiator's dry and oil's over full, meaning possible head gasket, new cap a wires, and exploded muffler meaning possible timing chain. Bummer, I think I'll just sit and look at it for a while. I got insured, and my Sister-in-law: Deborah, whom works for DMV looked at it, took my plastic and one of the pinks to resister it. :-) God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com > Like a idiot glutton for punishment, I bought another Jeep: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150101747837&ssPag eName=ADME:B:BCB:MT:31 SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
