I took delivery of my first Scout since I sold my last one back in 2007. It’s pretty much a blank slate for me to do whatever. The only thing it has going for it so far is it seems like the body is fairly solid, but I haven’t really taken a really close look yet. Someone swapped in a Nissan 4 cyl engine at some point and converted it to 2wd. It’s missing doors, windshield, top, tailgate, headlights, most bolts and seats. The wiring is all shot to hell as well.
I am not 100% sure what direction the build will take but initially I’ll be collecting body parts and then probably tackle engine and transmission/T-case. I am leaning towards a LS swap. I had some thoughts on swapping the body onto a JK rolling chassis but not entirely sold on that yet. Time and money will tell.
I’ll update as I make decisions and move forward with the tear down and build.
