I recently bought a Jeep with a lot of body rust, mainly the floors. I've been documenting the restoration.

It's a 1988 YJ Laredo, which I got with half-doors (Laredos come with full-doors) and no top (Laredos come with a hard top). Oddly, the windshield frame was once yellow, and the tailgate was once blue. And the wheels are definitely not stock... Neither is the air cleaner, which has left me with a few unconnected hoses I have to find a place for.

Overall, it runs decently well, it just needed new floors.
