Wow, you either have yard full of XJs and MJs or got it from someone that is an avid XJ/MJ collector. I got mine for $400 too and drove it home. Just couldn't beat it. I just did the floors on my Jeep and it wasn't that bad. Your's look like they could just use some grinding to get off the surface rust. I could see through my floors, so it took some time to make sure the cancer was gone. Just be careful of the brakelines when you're cutting through the floors. I almost cut one when I was hacking the floors apart and I did cut through the fuel pump wiring harness. Oops!

Default Body Cancer

Well here is what we found when we started we had to strip some galvinized on the passenger side however the driver sid was pretty much complete so we finished up the welds,,bu we plan to cut one solid pan for the passenger side,,so we can get a solid weld,,instead of welding 50 little pieces which was very frustrating for my buddy brad,,,props to my bud jay for letting us use his mig welder,wire and gas.

Default Welding,,welding and still more welding

Thanx,,we discovered the frame has a hole in it but we are gonna give it a thourough going over and bring it back to life,,I was a bit mortified by it but my buddy said he has fixed worse...cant wait to get it finished so I can put the bedliner in it to cease the body cancer problem.Then we start the fun stuff like lifting it and putting the Boggers and rims on it.still havent figured out what color to paint it,,,any suggestiions?I was thinking "sassy grass green " and black like the old hemi cuda colors!!
