heres some pics of my 2000 H1 i just picked up. enjoy!

So are you going wheeling with us????

so whats bent???????

Looks like the front end is missing?

Another cse of "Post and run"

and heres the damage...

unless he's found a new tire system that I didn't know about!!!!

and heres the damage (with a pic this time)...

more carnage shots

Ok, so it's not a new tire system.

I've seen a hood on E-bay this week(dont know how much, there's also a lower arm thats been on there for a while for $150.00, I,ve also got some used ball joints you can have. there still good.

actually i am getting a new hood, door, and some new panels to fix the sheetmetal. i got all new ball joints and an idler and pitman arms from blue hummer outfitter that i installed today. it should be rolling by tomorrow afternoon. i've got new wheels and tires for it waiting to be bolted on. should be fun.

OK sounds like you've got every thing sorted already.

COMON WHAT YA HIT??????

sorry, did not provide details of the accident. the rig hit a bridge pylon (sp?) at freeway speeds, sheering off the upper and lower balljoints and slamming the tire into the driver's footwell. the rim was still in the tire, but broken into 6 pieces. the halfshaft was gone. i bought it like this from a wrecking yard in El Paso TX. it is a 2000, with 60k mi. i cant wait to drive it, i still have never driven and H1...

wish i could see whats left of the bridge!!!

Any frame damage???

How are you taking off the damaged sheet metal? Looks like you are going to be drilling out rivets for a while....

i've already taken most of the bent sheetmetal off. yes, lots of drilling! btw, are replacement floorpanels available, and from where? thanks guys.

this is what was left of the lf wheel

I think you need to talk to Sean at Angry Iron.... Did you find "skins" at a salvage yard????

Looks to me like your posts are bent. Will it be staightend???

looks like ur brush guard is a little bent there, just lettin u kno

just remember PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES, we like them.

anyways, good luck, it looks like its going to be fun when ur finished.

Couple rolls of duct tape and she'll be fine

I think that will buff right out.

Keep posting - I want to watch this come back together.

Wow! How'd I miss this? I'm with Racer, keep posting pics.

I'm with Dug. Go first with some polishing compound, then a less abrasive cleaner wax, then a couple of nice coats of carnuba and she'll be awesome.

Seriously, nice work. I would NEVER tackle something like that.....Good luck and keep the pics coming!

Hey hows she coming. It's about time you sent us some more pic's

Ground hwg

Yes, time for some update pics!

UPDATE! UPDATE!!!

Hey very cool project.

A couple of real good places to pick up surplus parts is myhumvee.com amd Jeep acres

I agree more pictures please.

Do you care to share what kind of deal you made on your new toy?

The only hard thing about driving a H1... It is hard to do without having a smile on your face. It is real fun and some times challenging in mechanicle skills department. I can tell you aint skeerd though.

call me at 805 310 9424 i have the sheet metal you need

I just finished an identical repair on the passenger side. I bought a cut-off front suspension and a new frame rail. Kascar has the floor pan and foot well area. Jeep acres has the A pillar under the windshield. I have the huge rivets (had to buy 400), everything else is rather common. Also have an extra military hood, slightly damaged.

well, heres the first shot of it on 4 wheels. it rolled for the first time in almost a year today. and i drove it! i didnt know wether or not it would even start, but i was able to back it into the garage today. sorry for not getting these pics up sooner, been a little busy. enjoy!!!!

front pics... nice wide stance from my 10" wheels. and just so i dont get loads of hate mail, these are just my street tires, i'm taking the stock rims and gettin swampers so that i can slap them on and use the CTIS for when its off road.

the good side...

and here is a shot of what fun awaits me inside.... actually it was all together when i got it, but it had a half-ass install on the stereo, so i ripped it all out and am starting fresh.

one more

Good work. At the rate your going she'll be back on the street (hopefully the trails) in no time. Too bad your not closer to me, I'd deffinetly offer to give you a hand, not that you seem to need it.

Looks really good.....how are you planning on straightening that post???

right now i'm looking into changing out the post. if i cant, i'll have to pull it out like i did the floor. i'm checking on replacing the front of the floor too. we'll see. more pics soon...

What did you pay for the H1 in that condition and what do you will think you will have in her when compleated w/o the rim expense.

thnx
