So I've found a few flaws doing inspections that I wish I would have known to look for so I'm posting here for others benefit
Nothing horrible or nothing that would have made me not buy it but maybe could have given me some more negotiating fodder.
The passenger seat base serves as the battery box cover
The originals are made from fiberglass
They have a tendency to Crack in the rear where they wedge up into a slot that holds them
Mine was this way and I ordered a new reproduction steel one for $200
It was missing the windshield metal trim that covers up the seal between the frame and the glass.
Just an appearance thing really and I found all 3 parts on ebay for $60
The 3/8 bolt that attaches the generator to the adjustment bracket was missing, probably backed out over time. I had a new bolt here and replaced it and adjustment the belt tension
All in all, it's been a fun an interesting project and I am going to paint it soon whenever my new top comes in and I have the old one off, that will be the best time.
I went to a paint store and had them mix the correct color so I'm excited about that.
Lastly I built a console of sorts out of 2 ammo cans.
There aren't any creature comforts in these..so these serve as 2 cup holders and I installed the water proof Bluetooth controller for the speaker and a dual USB port for phone charging
I figured it looks military while serving a need.
