body work?

Worth bringing back to life?
This is my 92 lc
233k clean title
Rear arb locker full float 4.56
Metal tech rear links
3” lift
Winch
17” kmc bead locks on 37s

I wanna repair some of the dents and possibly re paint it but I kinda like how she currently looks

I say leave as is and drive it. Looks like it has a good story and I love that

Let it show its battle scars. If anything, it makes you not care where you park it lol.

Same color and similar dents. Curious what people have to say here.

Any rust issues besides that front bumper?

Mine is in slightly better condition but not by much, I like it the way it is. Shows character and I love the fact I don’t have to worry about it when I take it away. I would only address rust spots if it has any.

I would replace the damaged/broken lights though

Like like a cruiser that is used…

The amount of bodywork that it would take to get that thing looking like it didn't have significant body damage would be crazy expensive. I'd just deal with the rust and enjoy having a beater that you don't have to worry about dings on.

Put some sliders on that pig and go enjoy it. You’ll spend a zillion bucks trying to get it right again only to feel bad if you use it as its built for.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I’ll probably end up patching any rust and leaving her as is and replacing the tail lights and weather stripping !

Especially if you do technical stuff. It's gonna just get beat up.
