A Jeep is Never Really Done... but ours is.

A Jeep is Never Really Done... but ours is.

Not much to say about it except we muscled up and knocked it out before Kassie left for college in September. (Ya, I know, I'm late in posting this!) We had Alice painted Solar Yellow - a stock Jeep color, put on a new soft top, replaced the front windshield, hooked up the heater and she was done.

Here is what we bought over a year before...
and this is the finished product (without the full top on)...
 And here is Alice in the snow in Utah...
I'm sure that the Alice Story will continue on in our family for many years to come, but for now, I feel my daughter and I are closer than ever, and we got a really nice Jeep outta the deal.

The Breakdown:
Project Jeep:           $600.00
Parts etc:               $4000.00
Paint:                      $800.00
---------------------------------------
Total:              $5400.00

A great relationship and experiences with my daughter: Priceless. 

Love you Kassie.

Special Thanks to AutoZone, Pat Mulroy, Kyle Meyer, Craigslist, Jeepforum.com, and my wife Diana for letting me see this through.
