So. Like 3 days after the prior pictures were taken, the car broke down on the way to work. Did the same thing it had done when I brought it home from Cleveland. I had replaced so much on the car and it had not don't it since, I assumed it had been fixed. Silly me..... So I was able to limp it home. Car is so simple, its either fuel or spark. Figured I would start with the fuel filter as it is easy to get to and was like, That was easy to figure out! Rusty tank.

So I know the tank has been replaced at some point, but who knows. Decided to replace the tank and the fuel pump. Lucky for me, CJ Pony Parts had a sale and I got everything for less than $200 shipped.
Love the fact they didnt use a gasket or more than 1 screw.

Painted the new tank and the fuel pump with black Spray bed liner. Put some gas back in it and it fired right up. Even my new cheap gas gauge is working now!!!!

So after driving it around some, I notice the springs were not settling to my liking. The front were measuring around .5 inch higher than the back. So, I pulled the springs again and took half a coil out of them. Now the front are .5 inch lower than the rear. Think I finally got the look I was looking for.

Next up: I don't know, Id love to do the 5.0/AOD that I got last year. I just don't have the money to make that happen yet. Maybe if I scabbed it in there, but I just cant do that. I think I am going to try and get side mirrors on it.
