Rust never sleeps

So I had about 12 hours on the rig this weekend. My process is slow due to a lack of understanding and damnable rusty bolts. Well maybe it feels slow because Lloyd's jeep is like a Lego model a bolt here and there and it comes apart which in combination with his experience and skill makes for an intimidating pace. For someone tackling a first project, the jeep is certainly a great way to go.

On the plus side I am making progress and I am learning a lot, the biggest plus of all is that I don't think I have removed things that I can't put back on :). So perhaps that is all that is important for now. So this weekend (rather pathetically) I've removed the rear drive shaft, half of the front drive shaft, disconnected the shift linkage, removed the power steering system, removed alternator belt, disconnected ignition system, removed rear tires, and disconnected the AC compressor. So although visually it looks the same so I wont post a picture, 'under the hood' progress is being made.

So it appears I only have to remove the exhaust system, and engine mounts to remove the engine and transmission.

Project cost: ~$1500.00 (not counting man hours of course).
