It's basically all there just not the look that I'm looking for so some changes are needed to be made.

I bought this from my brother who purchased it for his son. He had it for only a couple months before deciding that this little green Commando was going to be more of a project than he was looking for. He ended up buying a Jeepster that was already built that didn't have the problems that this one has.

I bought it to replace a buggy that I built about thirteen years ago that is in my Toyhauler trailer. I'm kind of over the buggy thing having used it all these years in the desert and in the sand. So when the desert season starts again in October the buggy will be sold. Now having the Jeep and it being street legal I will be able to take advantage of driving it around as a cool old convertible as well as taking it to the desert to cruise with and do some exploring I couldn't do in the buggy. Here in California we don't have to smog anything that is older than 1975 so I can do whatever I want to do with the engine and not have to worry about giving the State a penny to run it through a smog test!

My plan is to remove the Bullnose front clip that I'm not too found of and install my version of a Jeepster front clip using YJ front fenders, a CJ grille with custom made Jeepster ears, and a lengthened Jeepster hood to cap it off. I'm going to get rid of the interior along with the roll bar and build a nice full cage with different seats with harnesses and a YJ Fold and Tumble seat in the rear. I'm going to rework the dash and update the gauges, tilt column, a fresh coat of paint, and shoot bedliner in the whole tub. I'll keep the TH 400 and the Dana 20 but will probably change the shifters on both. front and rear axles are supposed to be Dana 44's but they aren't very wide and the previous owner installed spacers on front and rear. The 350 Chevy conversion with TBI is an added bonus but just doesn't run very well and will have to be figured out. The wiring is original 1972 Jeep wiring along with whatever harness was used as a donor for the electronic stuff and is a complete mess so it will all be ripped out and replaced with a new harness and fuse box. Rust repair and rear bodywork will need to be done and a new paint job will cover it. It won't be show quality but it will be straighter and and have fresh paint on the exterior (still fighting with my 16 year old daughter on the color choice!). I gave the complete doors to my nephew for his Jeepster because all he has is soft doors and my plan is to use another set of hard doors (which I have) and make them into half doors. I have an idea to use some JK door hinges to give the doors a different look.

All this and I need to keep it it low enough to still get it into my trailer! So for now SOA suspension is out of the question.
