need a little advice.

I have a chance to buy a yj and flip and sell it fast with profit.

Here are the specs.

1987 YJ
Bad Soft Top
Good leather interior
No lift, stock wheels/tires
Stored in barn for last 3 years, will run with new battery
Leak in radiator
AMC 2.5L I4 about 70K miles
BA 10/5 5 speed manual transmission
Dana 30 front
Dana 35 non c-clip rear
NP-207 x-case
Fair Paint, straight body no damage
$600

Fix the leak, throw a battery in it, cheap used tires, clean the crap out of it and make the paint shine. Put it on the market for $2000. What do you guys think? Would you do it?

Ok got some more info. Guy wants $1000 firm. Here are some pics. Still do it?

I'm not a jeep fag, but I say no because for 1000 there is a **** ton of better deals to turn.

How could it have good interior and a bad soft top?

If you don't want it, send me some contact information. I've got something I could do with it.

All depends on what your time is worth.

If it was truly garage/barn kept, then it's probably pretty decent.

Looks comparable to that smittybuild POS that JB has had such bad luck with.

which reservior do you think does the front and which one the back. Aren't they usually switched (front reservior-back brakes)(rear reservior-front brakes).

[bcolman]

does it really matter if you have disc's front and rear?

[Graystroke]

is it progressive?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

is it progressive?

Holy ****, can you not leave politics out of this even one time???

What year model and make does that reservoir come from?

[85cj7]

1968 corvette master, non power brakes.

Looking into the reserviors the front is slightly larger than the rear, so I would think it is direct (front to front) (rear to rear)

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I am pretty sure it is front to front on mine, that's how I thought all of them were.

[85cj7]

the yj one is reversed and for some reason I remember a pirate thread saying that when you convert to corvette you should swap the lines, insinuating that it is direct (front to front, back to back).

How much is too much- metal shavings in tranny. I did a filter and drain/fill on the dodge yesterday. I have been getting some serious slipping lately. The magnet had a good gunk layer around it, maybe a half a shot glass full, and then there were some shavings that I could see in the bottom of the pan when I was cleaning it out.
