Default 93 2 door rescue project

so im at work and i over hear this guy talking about selling a cherokee and of course i ask ... he says its a 2 door .. so i ask about rust and the price he says 500 with minimal rust so i check it out ... some people should not own cars , the back window have 3 layers of tint that you cant even see through all the brake lines are rotted winshield cracked the fuel pump is making some crazy noises and there are amp lines runnig all over the place include around the fenders he told me 400 was as low as he would go so i just said fine and was on my way














now im thinking this can be saved . i have fixed worse rust before
and the frame rails are rock solid .. so on the to do list are floor board all brake/fuel lines and rocker panels a whole new exaust ,some v8 ZJ springs and a S10 bastard out back , i already have a windshield (i buy em in stock) and a new steering colum due to the fact he lost the key so he ripped the colum apart .. all n all im just happy to have my first of many 2 doors

Thats is not what I would consider minimal rust but good luck. You have a bit of work on your hands.

Good luck, I bet it looks worse than it is.

It looks alot like mine did before I started on it. You could see the floor mats from under the truck.

Can I ask what you plan on doing with the rear quarters? My Jeep has some rust on the passenger rear quarter by the bumper cap (not as bad as that) but I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
