I can already hear it... "Get a new body".
This thread is to help me answer the question "How much will it cost if I don't get a new body"?
This CJ7 belongs to my wife, and it holds sentimental value to her. Her dad used to take her off-roading in it back in the late 1980s when she was a kid. So getting a new body would sort of defeat the purpose. If it were mine, I would probably just buy a whole different jeep and put this thing on craigslist.
But instead, it's up to me to fix it up. So I'm hoping you guys would be able to tell me how much money I'm looking at, to get a good paint job on this thing, with all bodywork finished out. $10,000 right? LOL
