Hey all,
My brother recently found a website that advertises a restoration service for Jeep Grand Wagoneers, preferably between the years of 1987 and 1991. The service is supposed to make the vehicle better than new, for a price, of course. Current inventory seems to run between $39000 and $41000 per vehicle depending on year. Good money if you can get it, I suppose...
The two of us have fun memories of a late model Grand Wagoneer owned by a friend, and seeing that got me curious about them. They have been on and off my automotive bucket list for quite some time.
They show up for sale in the area surrounding me from time to time, and Im not too interested in paying that much for a fixed one even if it is better than new. Would rather buy a decent one and wrench it back to happiness.
But all this makes me wonder about the availability of restoration parts, trim bits, etc. So many that I have seen seem to have rust in the rear quarters. Is that something that can be fixed, and fixed well?
Any stories, ideas, etc would be appreciated.
