some 30 years ago a good buddy and i rebuilt his Gladiator that he found on a farm.
back then i told him if he ever wants to sell i take first option!
what a surprise to get a call the other day if i still want the Jeep.
he did not have time for the Jeep anymore, he sold his Farm and the engine was busted.
i jumped at the opportunity and bought the Gladiator for next to nothing.
i opened the engine up expecting a disaster but only found the timing chain and gears worse for wear.
i ordered them from the USA and now the 232 is running nicely again.
there is still a lot of small things i need to do but i am very proud of the jeep.
i could not resist buying a model of the Gladiator on E-Bay wich cost more than the engine parts at the end of the day
