I removed that cracked windscreen. And not a minute too early... There were some rust spots and such...



Upper corners had rust and there were some marks of tool hidden, paint had been damaged when someone changed the windscreen. No rust though...



And of course... a lot of dirt all over...

Front seat were very dirty. Previous owner had never cleaned them. The whole interior was completely mess, grease, dirt, mud... you name it.

I started rust removal. First manual and after that chemical, Citricacid does the work...



The dashboard was  :censored: dirty. I started cleaning with soap and water. Then some spray... It looked like this. Job half done...




After heavy cleaning it looks like this...

Long time, no see...  ;D

Jeep drums fit nicely...



And new tank is almost ready...
I fabricated new stone shield. It is much bigger than original, because the new tank is not as it should be!!  >:(  Someone has welded its lower half backwords!  :o This came from well known dealer. This was their thirteenth sold gas tank...  :P Talking about my bad luck... It is almost impossible to send it back and get a new one instead...
what jeep model are those drums for?Iam searching for new ones for my eagle ,but they seem to be hard to find here in sweden.

I found this question....

"what jeep model are those drums for?Iam searching for new ones for my eagle ,but they seem to be hard to find here in sweden."

I bought Jeep Cherokee 1995 drums. Wagner # BD 125296. I couldn´t buy originals here in Finland, so Jeep parts are the only way.

My project had some progress. New windshield is on its place... Next thing is to polish it with ceriumoxide. So it´ll be better than new...
