I'm guessing you're going with a desert tan paint job? Personally I'm seriously considering the new Dune JK colour for our XJ. Got a spot of paint to repair and one side had a dodge repair that's getting bad.

Hahah I'm considering it, it'll either get a desert tan or a white with AMC red and blue

Posting some pics from a few days ago, I got to work chiseling and wire wheeling the floor pans, the drivers side is quite good, the passengers side is a bit gone, i can still jump on it, but i might do it anyway.

Bofore-


After-


I took off my rose tinted spectacles to find that every rust bubble in the paint was hiding a hole, and this dodgy bastard had simply bogged over the rust, then bogged in dents, and bogged the joins in panels... then applied spray putty





It seems I may have to take this whole thing back to the metal
