**The engine swap was completed in spring 2010.  I do have all engine and transmission receipts. The engine conversion added up to about $6000 in receipts.  I have $2558 in receipts for the Advance Adapters NV3550 transmission.  Also, have $1392 in receipts from Novak conversions.  Over the last 18 years, I have put a lot of money and time into this jeep but it is time now for someone else to enjoy it.  Whenever I replaced parts on this jeep, I always bought new.  I learned over the years from building many jeeps- why buy used parts and have to go back and redo something a second time.  All the labor was FREE because I did all the labor; I never trusted any mechanic to touch my jeep. 

The flaws:  Gas gauge does not work. The speedometer and gas gauge in the dash are new but I have never replaced the sending unit in the gas tank.  There is no heater in the jeep.  I took out the factory under dash heater unit when I put all new wiring under the dash and rest of the jeep.  This jeep has always been a second vehicle for me so I typically only drive on the weekends and didnt really need a heater.  You can get the Summit Racing (SUM-991102) heater for $145 if you want to put a heater back in the jeep. There are some bolt holes that have been plugged on each top corner of the windshield frame.  The bolt holes are from a light bar that the original owner had on the jeep.  I do not have hard doors for this jeep.  I will include a pair of used Bestop black vinyl two piece soft doors which I ran during the winters with the hard top.  The paint is all original except for the hood and cowl behind the hood which I had repainted probably seven years ago.  The paint looks good for a jeep this age but does have some dings, touched up places, and is somewhat faded. This jeep has zero, no rust at all.  I have always kept this jeep very clean and always garage kept.
