Nice looking car MJ...plans for it?

Thanks, plan to bring it back to stock and fix the rust as you can see on hinges, hope it's not serious. keep it stock and enjoy it as its not molested much, only have subframe connectors welded on, only thing that's permanent. So its mostly original everywhere except both fenders as i can see no vin tags but very straight except bottom of the radiator support, i'll live with that.

it has buck tags, police alternator, oil cooler. 160 speedo. dash are shot, will replace it as the cluster is loose and realized dash is damaged where the cluster are supposed to mount on are beyond repairable. Will replace headliner and sunvisors, they are awful. will post more when i have it home after deep cleaning done.

Nice! I had rust in the same area on my 92 SSP we cut it out and replaced with new metal. My though is the sooner you stop the rust the less repair work to be done. Which in turn means less money spent fixing the problem. Just my thoughts.
