check out this mess of rust! I am going to tackle the rear end of my 5 pretty soon. I need to make a new rear crossmember and bumper, and also do *something* with the rust. It will buff out Smile

Whoa. Nice case of rust. How is the rest of the tub? The body on my CJ5 is completely shot, and well beyond repair. Strangely enough, the frame is in awesome shape. Maybe I oughta go take pics of mine too Tongue

Frame is completely salvagable on mine too... (assuming that within the next 5-10 years I do something with it...) but the body is horribly shot. Window frame, tub, wheelwells, all completely rotted out. I think there is more fiberglass in it than sheetmetal any more.
