Like most of us, I'm not nearly done with my XJ, but here are some before and after shots. Before's were taken less than a year ago, after's were taken today (11/28/15)
Nice, my 93 was my daily driver for 70K before the brakes went out and the mechanic shop crashed it driving into the bay. I still have it so it is now my toy.
Wow, seriously? The mechanic crashed it going into the bay, how's that for irony? At least you have a cool toy then!
I used a wire brush and scraper to knock off the majority of the rust before I sanded it. There was really just a nice coat of surface rust, most of it was down to good metal after the brush, scraper, and paper. Then I used that naval jelly stuff to get the rest of it. Then some rust reformer primer, then the cheapest black spray paint I had laying around.
