Default First XJ build with RUST!!!

I got a sweet deal on this 1995 Cherokee Sport...800 bucks only 160,XXX miles on it and runs very strong (as we all know this) but needless to say i knew it needed some work done...a little TLC if you will. Knew it had rust spots but not nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be when i pulled the seats and carpet!! Searching around here i know its fixable and it is not nearly as bad as some of the floors i have seen on here...My major concern is the hole in the main rail that runs along the drivers side, right next to the leaf spring. its about the size of my fist and i have pics!

It looks like you will be having some "quality" time with the new XJ. Any rust issues anywhere else? Good luck on the repairs and keep us updated.

And welcome to the forums.

No not really..the cargo area has maybe 2 or 3 quarter sized holes but nothing as bad as the rest....any suggestions for the rear "unibody main frame" if that is the correct way to put it.
