[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 440569, member: 21375"] I found this one in May of this year. Over the next 3 months, I made it into exactly what I wanted. First thing was getting some clean sheet metal. I knew the fenders had rust, and having owned many classics, rust is ALWAYS worse than it appears. The Fenders can be complicated to repair correctly, so I found a set of clean, rust free examples someone had stashed back years ago but never used. Promptly took them home and cleaned them up. [ATTACH=full]122273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122274[/ATTACH] Wranglers and any old Jeep for that matter are cheaply thrown together without regard for longevity or corrosion resistance. If this was to be my daily, I was going to address that. After scrubbing them down and letting them dry for a day, all pinch welds got seam sealed to prevent dirt and water from starting trouble. [ATTACH=full]122275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122276[/ATTACH] I followed that with some Rustoleum for the engine side [ATTACH=full]122277[/ATTACH] And Durabak for the wheel well [ATTACH=full]122278[/ATTACH] Turns out, new fenders were the correct call [ATTACH=full]122279[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
