Talking $400 Black 91 XJ

Okay Guys... I just picked this 91 Limited 225,000 miles up for $400. Well I have had a few Jeeps but this one will be the first one I actually do anything to. This is my daily driver so I will not be doing any crazy modifications. (yet) This will also be slow going. $$$ For now it will be the free stuff. I am new to the (Do it yourself thing) So I am always up to suggestions.

wow...$400...that's a pretty good buy. 1st suggestion IMO, take out the gold pinstripes and paint the gold stripe on your bumper black.

if you don't want to get rid of the emblems, you can sand down the emblems so that it's the bare finish. also, that's a clean paint job. is that the original paint or after market?

Thanks for the Idea! I will sand them down. They had Just painted It, poor job but looks good enough. I will use It for my lawn care business so it will get some scratches on it anyway.
