Nice work! Looks like you've still got some parts to add, but that's a great job so far. :D

thanks guys
i still have a few things to add
I have got the licence plates i just need to mount them. The thing is that in British Columbia you need to use your front plate which is bunk

I need to change the chrome bumper for a black one which I have I just need to mount it

The whip antenna. Which radio shack or the source as it's called in canada doesn't have

Still need to find some of those groovy amber lights for the back and fog lights for the front which I might go out and get today

I also need to find a light bar. I don't know if I'm going to do the light bar because in the movie #18 had the bar but no lights. Then

I would have to paint it and that can be a pain because i have to mix all the paint again.
I guess i'll do it all eventually over time

as for interior
I found the green carpeting and a set of sahara seats at a junkyard not too far from my house that just does jeeps
I'm going to paint the gray center console and door panels green. And I also got some of the tan and green door pockets made up
I also swapped the black roll bar padding for spice
Also made the little parking tag that hangs from the rearview mirror

i'll post some more pics up when I change the file size
