Default Is a $600 95 XJ worth it?

It has some front end damage but nothing not repairable, wasnt in an accident, front right panel by the rocker guard and flare has the damage but like someone backed into it,

I believe it runs and drives, and its missing the front grill? just the outside plastic part.

Not much rust, Should i pick this up for $600?

What are your plans for it? If its a DD, i would say no. Only $600, it probably has some other problems.

I have a 98 sport xj as a daily driver right now so i would probably make it a trail rig, it needs to much to be a dd, and i saw a pic of the rockers... they need replaced,

Then i say go for it. Look over it really well, but if you dont see anything major, it will make a good trail/project rig.

Cut the rockers out and weld in 2x6 square tube. Doubles as a rocker.

I bought my 93 for $1000. then I had to put $1500 into it. I'm very happy with it but you should expect to dump a lot of time and money into it

How far it sticks out.

I plan to attach tube to it for an exo, so I need that extra space. I spose thats up to the owner of the vehicle, my bad. Got caught up with my own plans.

I dont plan on putting on any extra on my 98 but that would be cool on a future project
