This blog will be documenting the restoration of our 1979 CJ5 over the summer of 2010. The plans for the Jeep include a 4 inch lift (in addition to the 2 inch lift it already has), new tires and rims, new suspension, new brakelines, exterior paint, off road lighting (KC HiLITES of course), racing seats, lining the interior (Herculiner) and installing a sound system. The entire restoration will be done by me and my boyfriend (who happens to be a mechanic). There will be plenty of before and after photos every step of the way, and tips for quality, yet economical DIY restorations. We are currently in the process of obtaining the parts needed for my restoration. Jeep enthusiasts stay tuned for more to come!!
