Brakes are 95% completed: need to add fluid and bleed. New emergency brake lines are installed but need to mount the new Wrangler e-brake and attach the lines. After that wire the new Ron Francis XP66 fuse bock/relay module ($500.00) to the battery, hook in the engine wiring harness leads (five wires), run a single wire to the fuel pump connector, put gas in it and the engine will run (radiator has no fluids, engine does not have oil, etc.).
Minor fabrication remains with minimal, simple welding to the frame side body mounts and the frame splice (it’s tacked now). No other parts needed to run and drive. Drive train is installed and near-ready to drive. Steering is installed and near-ready. Will need a front drive line. Suspension and steering will need to be torqued to spec.
The interior paint is in very good condition. The dash pad has no cracks. I have all the original sheet metal: grill and both fenders as well as the dash. I do not have the headliner for the hard top but I have the OEM fiberglass molded sides in very good condition.
The doors are rust free and open and close as they should. Gaps are uniform. The rockers are rust free and solid with no damage. The floors are original with minimal rust which is predominantly surface rust only. None of the flooring needs replacing. None of the body panels need replacing although there are minor dents in various places that are easy to repair with hammer and dolly.I have over 40k in parts not including shipping and certainly not including labor. This figure does not include the value of the rare, OEM khaki-colored and virtually rust free 1975 Scout XLC body (I have all the original sheet metal in very good condition).Items needed to finish: windshield, carpeting, shifter boot, dash gauges, door rubber seals, exhaust with cats and mufflers and a battery.

I have a 100 % tear in my rotator cuff with a 9 month recovery AFTER surgery which is scheduled fir December 23, 2019. I am upset at the injury and the length of down time. Otherwise I would never sell.
