The frame damage is the killer here, especially on the steering end of it. Electrical problems can be eliminated one at a time or with a new Painless wiring kit. Body issues are usually solve easily and if its a beater, it wont matter anyway. The other missing parts wont be a problem to replace either. If money is the issue, Jim is absolutely right, find a better choice to build on. It does however sound like a good parts jeep to rob from in building another. My project started from one worse than yours and I bought 3 others to get what I needed plus ALOT of new stuff from suppliers and off eBay. I have invested WAY to much money but the end result is I will have a basically new jeep for less than I coulda bought a brand new one for and I never made a monthly note. I have been working on mine for over 3 years when I have time so if your in a hurry, forget this one.

Be aware of what your getting into and walk away if your not ready to commit sizable funds and time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
