Project Baryonyx: Ep1 - Overview

Come with me and you'll see a world of pure chaotic restoration. This 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ needs some TLC and I intend to fulfill it.

Even though I have already started to strip the beast down I've taken the liberty of starting to document it the best I can, including all the little hints, tips, tricks and owies that crop up along the way.

So what am I getting into? This is a frame off / body off restoration. The tub and frame have some sections cosplaying as Swiss cheese which need patched and welded. While everything is off it will be a great time to strip, clean and re coat both the frame and underside of the body with something more substantial than 30 years of dirt.

Apart from the patches of iron oxide, it needs a new engine as the big end of the no. 1 piston decided it wanted to be air cooled and rapidly exited the bottom of the sump when the previous owner took on a puddle of pond like proportions.

Ep2 will go into the identified issues more, so keep an eye out if it's something you're interested in following.

Corrections:
It's actually a toe board and not a toe box
