Default To buy this CJ-7, or not to buy...

I have a 94 Cherokee Country, and it is my love, but I want something I can beat the hell out of that I don't have to be able to take to work the next day. What do you guys think of this?? They're asking 650.00$; I could offer 450 and take it I'm betting. The body is bad, floorboards are rusty, through in a few spots as well, but the owner says it runs, drives, 4x4 works, and brakes and everything are decent. It's a manual tranny and the straight 6.

I'd buy it. If your just gonna beat on it theres not really any better vehicle to do it on other then an old Cj7...unless its got that crappy Dana 20 rear axle underneath it. But either way totaly worth the money if everything checks out.

Buy it, and then replace the tub with a fiberglass tub and do the fuel injection conversion from www.summitracing.com . $650 you can't go wrong if it's going to be a toy.
