Hello from me (Patrick).
I have three cars, each of which is in some state of mechanical disarray.
99 Jeep TJ which I drive each day is closing in on 80k miles, and has been having some transmission-ish issues with near-stalling, and power loss. Until it gets better or gets worse enough to really diagnose, I continue to drive it. 2" BB with MT/Rs that have never seen anything but pavement, how sad but necessary for now.
89 Jeep XJ is completely gutted. I will be removing the engine in one or two weekends, now that I have a working hoist and stand. It's a slow process, but I hope to have it back in one piece with no more engine knock (had a spun bearing), in about a month maybe. Have a new-ish crank, and replacement rod/pistons for it, also going to do rings and bearings and have the head and block machined. Doing engine mounts too while I am there, and complete gasket kit for top/bottom.
74 AMC Javelin has all the seats out, carpeting out. I have replaced the front left fender with a rust-free now dent free ebay part, primed. Need to have some welding work done on the floorboard and rockers, which are rusted through. Runs, tiny straight six 232. Probably needs valve stem seals and rings, since it smokes a bit. Have the full head kit for it, but the body work is what holds me up from driving it. Have top/bottom gasket set for it, but going to wait on those. 3spd manual... black, sweet looking car, just needs love.
And that's all my current car issues. Thank you and good night.
