Hi Gerald,
Most news servers will not let you post binaries to a text only
group. Your Internet Service Provider usually will supply their clients
with web storage space. You may activate yours at:
http://www.frontier.net/support/html.html if Frontier is your ISP. Then
make a link like you see in my signature.

Re: Looking for CJ,..need help!
Ours was a CJ8 so there is somewhat a premium due to rarity of that
model, but around here $5k would still be the very low end for a
rustbucket CJ7.

Re: Looking for CJ,..need help!
Gee I looked at an 81 with glass body, frame looks good, but it runs ruff,
been told by several seperate people that the engine/trans are shot, but
this guy only wants $4,000.00 Canadian, about 3 K US, given that it looks
brand new but may need a lot of engine transmition work, should I still be
considering this vehicle?
