Hi Foby,

Great work, For a CJ500D with a 91' WB, giving a Sports look is a challenging task.

The Medium length Chassis makes it difficult to give the right shape to this jeep. Make sure you have all your fabrication design in place, if possible do a dummy on a computer by modelling the exact length & WB. Are you having any plans to change the Inter IDI engine?

I agree with you , its really difficult to give sports look to a Jeep.

But we tried to come out of the traditional military look (but still I opted for the miltary color "Green" )

The 295/R16 Hankook tryes changes the complete outlook of the it and gives a mordern look to the military color combination. The absence of the roof and the roll cage adds to it.

Currently we don't have plans to change the engine since the engine is in very refined condition now.

Nice to see people restoring oldies. I always felt bad looking at jeeps and oldies rusting and resting with no one ready to take care of them. Glad that one more jeep is being restored.
Hoping to see a sporty yet a good old cj500.

Thank you , we thought that restoring a Jeep will not be such a big deal.

But we really need time and money to spend it on for a better restored Jeep.

Hey fellas ,

thanks for all the contributions and the encouragment !!!!

Check out the new outlook of the Jeep.
