I'll Take a GAS JEEP w/o the Grandchildren

Post by JURASSahara1993 » August 25th, 2015, 4:09 pm

Hey all so this is my newly purchased '93 Sahara-
Great condition mechanically, interior is near perfect. No rust California Jeep. So excited, it was my childhood dream to have one. I have quite a modification road ahead of me but I cant wait to see this JP staff vehicle come together piece by piece.

Started on the Wheels first. Found the correct rims on Craigslist for $100 (for all 5). They weren't in the most amazing condition and I had to drive quite a distance to get them, but as I was planning on painting/ sanding them anyway it felt like a really good buy... I saw other posts on the forum and went from there as a guide. But as opposed to going full red right away, I decided to leave them the primer grey for the time being (thought it looked sweet with the new tires) and once the new base paint is on the Jeep... Move forward with the red, probably Plasti-dipping.

Good find on the wheels. I got a set of 4 one time for $60, he was asking $80, and he kept cancelling when I could come get them so when we finally hooked up he knocked another 20 off!. Great start !Looks like an awesome donor, Original FOG lights!!!! wow!

Yes!! I understand this are hard to come by nowadays- they both work perfectly too! Very stoked. My next big, and what I consider main and most important hurdle... Is figuring out my SandBeige paint. -Where to go for the paint job that's good and thorough (specifically with a jeep) in SoCal. And finding the correct low gloss Sand Biege that's a good quality at a good and fair price for a gallon. IDK- looking for advice.
All red aspects I'm painting personally later... Just really need to figure out my base paint this week.
