So although my jeep project started some time ago, today I seen that small bit of light that keeps me going. Well first off I should let you know what I'm doing.

My Jeep is a 1993 Grand Cherokee Limited. its got a slightly built 318 with an auto and full time 4x4. My goal is to have a nicely built offroad ready grand cherokee for under 1500 bucks. Its going to be Olive Drab green with black rims, 4" of lift, homamade bumpers and roof rack, and either boatsides or else rock sliders.

Thus far I have the front clip off and interior stripped so I can bedliner them. I've fixed the rust on the hood and both front fenders ( I also trimmed the fenders just below the bodyline to gain at least 2" of clearance in the front, and shaved the power antenna) I've got the fenders and the hood primed and painted.

I bought four rust free doors (more rustfree than the ones it had) for $80 putting my total cost with the jeep and paint up to around $880

If you have any money saving tips for me let me know I have an entire machine shop at my disposal :) so I plan on fabricating a lot of my own parts right now I'm just trying to get all the rust and bodywork taken care of.
