So...wow, it's been two years since I posted last. In short, I lost both the password to my acount and to the email that receives the lost passwords.

Anyway, this car is history, It snapped a crank and cracked a block going 55mph one day...that was scary. I decided to upgrage to the 3.4l camaro engine, and then also decided I wanted a two door, five speed, so..for the last two years I've been working on that project while going to NC State.

Here are a few teasers (I'll add a second page for this car when it's done)

My 85 Jeep Cherokee is the first car that I have ever purchased. I paid $1000 for it. Since its purchase in the spring of 2002, my dad and I have invested quite a bit of time and money fixing it up. Why? I seriously don't know. It needed quite a bit of work to get it road legal. I wish I took pics of how it looked when I bought it, you'd be amazed at the differences.

You can see the color is not OEM, not a great paint Job, but not bad.
In real life, the color is a deeper metallic blue, it's a pretty color.

you can see the Wal-mart special driving lights made by RALLEY Racing. I cut some of the fins of the grill to make the light install look more professional.
Ain't it purty!

There is a fair amount of body damage from off-roading. I believe, if you have four wheel drive, use it! (right) Here are the jeep "Gambler" 15x8 aluminum wheels. (they are my favorite "Jeep" Wheels)
