So this is the start of my 2001 Xj build.
Bought a bone stock Xj from a friend who had bought a new vehicle.
4.0 with 162k on it. Unfortuneatly, it is a Minnesota Jeep. So i have found some rust.
Got it home and in the shop and took almost the whole front clip off (bumper, grill, lights, fenders, etc).
Went to take the rear bumper off, and man were the bolts and bumper rusty. I opted to just torch if off (becasue why not right??)
Got the bumper off and then underneath the caps revealed the rust!! And of course, cant have that.
So, today i had a fun day using the torch, grinder, and BFH.
Cut out the rust and used what was left of the metal to fold it and weld it as even with the rear tail light as I could get it. Now, keep in mind I have never used a torch or a grinder before yet alone do body work (first project of any sort, although I have grown up working on cars).
So got the rear rust taken care of and thats about it for the day.
MORE TO COME!!:pray:
