i know that one rear and 2 of the rear side windows come from a 74 but the others came with a 67 deck lid so im guessing they work, they look like exactly the same size though, does any one know if there is a difference?

bad luck indeed. my hella broke off cause i was jumping the shelreif jump with a flat front tire.. thrashing the car, and it took too much of a beating i suppose. and the headlight broke off cause my friend flipped his baja and i crashed into it. haha.

and for the shock towers.. i jumped it too hard and yes, the welds did break. so ill be building a new bumper, well... entire front end, new shock mounts, tire rack, bumper, the whole deal. my friend just got the 1 1/5 die for his new jd2 bender so ill be buying a stick soon and ill have pictures of the progress. im still working on the irs conversion.. i had second thoughts about it, but now my swingaxle is going out so i might as well... i already have the parts. just need to figure out the best way to do it without a jig.. or get ahold of one.

finished the rear end. got the irs tabs welded in, trailing arms in.. everything ready to go. all i need to do now is bring the spring plates down a few notches so it will be at normal ride hight. and go back down to san diego and pick it up.
