1976 CJ-7

OK, so I bought this thing with the full intention of building a trailer queen. I ran out of money and tried to sell it. While waiting for a buyer, someone who had very little experience driving ran into it while it was parked on the street. It's fate was up to the insurance company and the determined it was totaled. They use some "Old Car" book and determined it had a replacement cost of $3,000. I thought it was fair and took the money. I bought it back from the insurance company and sold it to a gal on POR for the same price. It will live again! Anyway, here are some pictures of the aftermath of the accident.
