92 XJ project stalled

[snowonweb]

Hi,
I have 92 XJ project that I have spend a lot of money on already has stalled. I mean I put new gas tank in, rebuild the engine with hi flow exhaust headers, 99+ intake manifold, new head gasket and valve cover gasket, Bought new 3-part CSF radiator, new AC Radiator, New Oil Pan Gasket, New Transmission Gasket. I have new coolant hoses and new transmission lines.
I just got a new job and can't find time to finish the project. All I have to do is put tranny lines, coolant hoses, put back air intake and that is it.
I thought about hiring someone to finish the project for me or to get rid of it all for $1000 firm.
What you guys think?

why not put it to the side a few? and when you get some time finish it off ...

those three things you list would take 10-20 mins tops

I am very tight on parking space and my new job pays pretty well so I figured I could buy a jeep that is in great shape.
Also I never mentioned but this Jeep of mine needs body work, at least the floor work,

 

[H8PVMT]

depending on how well it pays I'll sell you mine, it's in mint shape

I would love to get my hands on a Jeep with blown engine but good body and then just put my engine in it.

Ok, this is what I did so far with the Jeep.
I put new Fuel Tank, New Fuel Filter, New Trannsmission Filter.
Engine work includes:

• Front and Rear Seal
• Timing Chain Kit
• 99+ Intake Manifold
• Hi Flow Exhaust Header
• Remanufactured Head with nice valves
• Hi-Flow Fuel Injectors
• New Coolant Radiator 3-piece
• New AC Radiator
• New AC Evaporator

Also New Engine Mounts, Full Tune-Up
What Left to do is put new tranny lines on (PIA, its hwere i am stuck with these o-ring crap)
Put Coolant Hoses In.
Put OIL in and Tranny Fluid In
Get A/C Lines and put them in
Probably needs new battery.

I had bought the jeep for $500 with head gasket issues, have put over $2,000 in parts. Endless hours of labor and I charge myself $60/h so that has to be at least 100 hours I put in.

Jeep also needs some body work, especially quarter panels, floors and rocker panels.
I need to recoup at least $1200 otherwise I am just going to yank engine and fuel tank out and get myself some other Jeep.
I have all the parts necessarry to get the Jeep going except for time and patience.
