this is true. As long as the frame rails and sills are fine it can be fixed! Look for a full floor pan to cut up - there's a seller on amazon that sells them. Makes a world of difference when you're trying to repair floors that bad.

I started with this:



And cut up this:


And fixed:



It's a LOT of work, but well worth it.

Changed out the upper hinge pin and bushings on the drivers door, it only took 4 hours

Probably would have gone a lot faster if I could have taken the door off completely and got my DIY pin extractor on the hinge, but I grabbed the wrong torx driver by mistake and stripped the head on one of the lower bolts

Got a new project to go behind the Jeep... I like it because it looks kinda like a miniature M101 trailer...
