My time with XJ

[collkid]

(some pic's from my Cell)

It all started here:
http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz142/jcrob33/MyBronco017.jpg
My first car, 1984 Ford Bronco. Got it for 900 no stereo but it ran, kind of. At 7 MPG in my Jr. Year of High school it wasn't going to cut it. Sold it for $1500.
Moved on to:

1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Fun car, 1.8L Non-Turbo. But it was Slow and Small.

Then I had a 1990 K5 which I regret selling now :( (but it was big and 10 MPG)

Had a few more DSM's AWD and Turbo but just wasn't reliable enough. (I was going to get into some trouble, plus again SMALL) So

End of SR year Jumped into: (Traded straight up for my 1993 Talon TSi AWD. Yeah I lost about 1500 in that trade but thats okay)

I added all the lights and painted the wheels. This was my first trail with my own Jeep. This is where he found the name "Eli"

Finally decided to lift it, the Paint was getting Terrible so I 'rolled on' some rustolum. It was fun!

But eh, things were falling apart, this was my First Jeep build (So i'm sure a lot of it was my fault). Drove the thing to deliver Pizzas in for over a year. Had 250+k and I had soe money saved up so I sold it for $1500 :(

And now.

Haha, I call my 98 classic Wilbur too. That's a good name. I can't believe how good that blue rustoleum turned out.

That's an awesome family pic right there! :thumbup:

Is a black shirt and blue jeans required on all family runs?

[collkid]

yeah that paint Job cost me about $50 and a week of workin on it for about 2 hours each day.

I liked it, Hope the girl I sold it too will keep it going
