£250 I think that's cheap? For a private plate

Thanks dude, that was at the car show, jeep let us park on the beach :)
Yeah I was lucky to get Sahara half doors, keep searching that's what I do, & don't sit on it just buy you will regret it if it goes. I'm still on a reupholster too so I'll let you know if I get a price on the seat bags

Hi
How have you found building it in the UK. I am starting one and most of the info I have found has been for working on one in the USA. I have not got my jeep yet, but have picked up some wheels and number plates, so its a start. I am wanting to build jeep 29.

I'm building one myself too from Northern Ireland. I've got a 1995 RHD Sahara edition. Parts are hard to come by in the UK and some parts are cheaper to buy and import from the US - I've bought new bumper end caps and saved at least £15 even paying for the shipping. I've aquired the correct wheels and tyres (with radial white lettering) for mine so far.

I have spotted things like that Bryan, been looking at half door. Not spotted any in the UK only in USA. I got the wheels off a facebook group for Jeeps with goodyear tyres for £165 inc postage.
I am finding the Jeeps all over with the pricing. Been looking on ebay and see them selling for about £1500, but a few listed at £4000 and not selling. Hope to get some thing early by the new year.

Mine came with half doors and regular doors as well :-)

It was a non runner when I bought it and needed a new ECU and battery to get running again. It failed MOT yesterday on a brake pipe so I'm going to change all of the brake pipes to keep them happy. Not bad for sitting around and last on the road in 2007!
