Funny joke!
I coudn't imagine ever selling this thing. It is worth so little money that I'd rather turn it into a bar or a couch before I sold it off to someone else just so they could ruin it. $4k - $5k isn't worth losing the Jeep I grew up with!
I'm also having my old frame cut up so I can make a table. That should be an interesting thread if I ever get time to take on the project. I'm considering some sort of engine block / frame table if my block ever gets ruined... Too many ideas, too little time!
I know, I hear you. It's like mine... with this much money into it, what is the point of selling it? I'd have to be absolutely desperate for money and down on my luck. At that point I'd just as soon take out a second mortgage on our house than sell the TJ. There's just no point. I'd lose so much money I can't even comprehend.
Your old frame is being turned into a table? So is this a rusty table? Going for a real vintage look? At least it will have some patina
