MIke’s from Oxford England. He rebuilt this formerly rotted 1979 CJ-5 Levi’s Edition. He wrote,
This is my own Jeep that I did a complete restoration on 14 yrs ago. It only ever comes out on sunny days which over here is rare. It is an original 304 Renegade with the blue Levi’s seat trim. It was totally rotten when I bought it so I totally stripped it all down and rebuilt it nut and bolt. The body was beyond repair but a sourced a company in Ohio called at the time Willys Overland. They had bought up all of the end of line stock from jeep including original body panels with the Jeep pressed in. I flew over to check it all out and they supplied me with a totally original but brand new jeep tub, I believe now that the CJ 5 panels are all gone. Everything is stock except for the wheels and the blue paint,it was originally blue but not metallic.the Olympic thing I havnt done is put reproduction renegade decals back on.
The result is beautiful. Thanks for sharing Mike!
