[QUOTE="jdinsb, post: 431772, member: 19879"] [B]The Jeep[/B] I just bought a 1995 base model S (2.5L with 42K original miles). Emerald Green, runs really well, no radio, no a/c, no carpets... just a bare bones YJ. I paid a bit over market due to the low mileage and overall condition, but it needs a bit of work: [ATTACH type="full" width="310px"]118554[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]lower windshield frame is rusted through [*]surface rust on the original wheels [*]soft top is old, weathered, and some seams are ripped [*]rear seat doesn't match factory tan [*]some fading on interior half doors [*]soft top hardware is on its last leg [/LIST] [B]The Options[/B] I'd love the group's input on a few directions I could take the Jeep.
