Hey all, I just picked up this 88 FJ62. I'm going do a cut and polish for now, but there are a few dents, clear coat issues, and rust spots that I'll need at address down the road.
Here's a link to some pictures I took to highlight the problem areas: It was a bit wet out so it may seem shinier than normal, but overall I think the paint is in decent shape and it should spruce up a bit with a polish.
I wouldn't be opposed to a full repaint + new seals gig, I think blending the roof and hood might be difficult for a shop. I'd be looking at a budget of $2500-$3000 for the paint and bodywork since I want to hold onto this one till the wheels fall off.
With a goal of DD quality paint, what budget should I set for a reasonable paint job from a shop? Also, any Raleigh NC body shop recommendations would be welcome.
