NEW:
I am looking for a TF999 32RH 3-speed AW4 4 spd (I’ll make up my mind) auto transmission with solenoid lockup in the central Iowa area.
No cracked cases, looking to rebuild.
Cheap parts are not worth it.
My Airtex fuel pump lasted 11 months. They suck.
That is all.
Going to get the TJ body fixed up this spring.
Here is what I am starting with:
I’ll get better pics as we start removing parts.
3/21/2011
Removed lights, license plate and fuel filler cover.
Looks worse when its all cleaned up.
First piece of armor is clamped in place.
Looks like the tub has been pushed in about 2″.
We’ve decided we’ll need to cut into to the floor to relieve tension where it’s folded over and patch that when it’s back to shape.
The ’94 had some frame rot near the shackle hangers in the rear. It’s a common issue with these Jeeps and pretty easy to fix.
I bought a set of these…
from here.
From there it’s a simple matter of cutting out the rust and welding in the plates.
Those are not my high-beams.
I’m sorry that my YJ sits as high as it does. I also apologize that your 1985 Cavalier RS sits that low.
At this point, all I can say is that you are lucky I haven’t done my HID conversion yet. And before you ask, yes my lamps are adjusted properly given the height of the vehicle and the width of the headlight mounts.
