Too bad the prior owners were so rough on it. I hope you can acquire the missing pieces/parts, and re-shape/straighten the current ones. A very high level craftsman on YT (channel name metalshaper) can manufacture 100% correct front fenders for '76 - '86 CJs. Greetings, and good luck from east/central AZ, and current (fellow) CJ5 owner.

This is good, I just picked up the same Jeep in about the same shape. I just put a new battery in it and tested the four wheel drive which works, but I see signs of tinkering by someone who was not as interested in doing things good, but rather that dreaded bailing wire fix. I'm lookiing forward to getting this in better shape as the wife and I are going to be using it for SAR missions. Thanks for the info, I'll check out your channel for more vid's.

It looks like you are missing the interior clamp ring. At least on newer Casitas, the pop rivets on the outside only hold it in position and the clamp ring inside has maybe a dozen screws that clamp the window tightly to the fiberglass.

I’ve gone through a few of these speed sensors as well as replacing the plug. Fingers crossed I have it solved. I also took out the gauge cluster & cleaned the connections. Unfortunately the other end where the car reads the sensor is called a CPOM (I think) which for an inexplicable reason is not replaceable without the entire gauge cluster.
