Regarding the rear fenders where the idiot cut the pinch weld seam out, pop-rivet some sheet metal in, get some spray on bedliner and give it a few good coats to seal it all up. Alternatively, one can of Great Stuff foam will fill it right in, when it dries cut off the excess and give it a coat of spraypaint, looks like **** but its easy!

incorrect. you can take a junk cherokee and spend the time and effort to drill out the spot welds and seperate the outer rear quarter panel. trust me i know as i just did this to my junk one and plan to repair/replace my busted rear quater panel on my good xj. now it is going to be a fair amount of work to do but this is just another option for you.
