talked to the guys lawyer tonight and decided it’s not worth all the trouble. Settled for $1500 of the $1800 I asked for. Better than nothing and I can now focus on getting this thing running

So now I need to find someone to install The TC and Tranny. The guy who had been working

On it decided to go to work driving a truck hauling rock for the county. Hopefully can find someone local soon.

Thanks to everyone for their words of wisdom and support through all of this.

Today was hopefully the last visit to the Dr to have burnt skin cut away. It’s gonna be a month or so before I can do any work myself on the Goat.

thanks man, me too 😀

Now need to get the Tranny and TC ordered and installed. Trying to find the right fuel line, get the cooling system flushed...then the little stuff.

As soon as I get cleared from this burn I’ll start a build thread and get the Goat off-road.

I just read through this whole misadventure. Retired from the Navy just over 20 years ago as a Chief Engineman and back then if you'd have got a hold of his Chief, he might not could have forced this 'bird to make things right with you, but he could have made his life miserable for a very long time. But that was the Navy then and from what few contacts I still have left on active duty, things have changed a lot and not for the better.

But as a Chief, I'd at least like to apologize on behalf of the sailors who do have the integrity that we used to be known for.

Now, back to Willys Jeeps! I'm in the research mode for my "forever Jeep" and this time around it will be a Willys CJ2A, 3A or a M-38. Just building up the Jeep fund till I can find the one I want.

thanks for the kind words Chief. I’m glad just to put this behind me and get on to fixing this thing up. It’s needs some work but I’m in love. And this forum is just full of amazing people, these guys have turned a bad experience into an adventure.

I’m driving the wife nuts out wrenching on it and trying to get little things done with one arm. I’m getting to meet one forum member this weekend and another the first week of August, which is exciting to me. I meant it sincerely, any of you ever pass through and I’d love to meet and have lunch or dinner.
