This was an easy one,all I had to do was final prep,spray and reassemble.The PO lost interest after many hours of hard work,and spending thousands on new and restored parts.This how I picked it up:



This is pretty much how it still looks,three years later:



This winter's projects include a new soft top,lose the cheesy Patriot pipes and put on stock rally's so I can put collector plates on it-$250/yr for tags and insurance!
