I definitely don't think it deserves a nice paint job. But it is no longer waterproof. It will actually leave streaks on the windshield when it rains and I can remove paint with a wet rag. I think I will buy a harbor freight stud welder and a slide hammer to take some of the big dents out. It definitely isn't getting body filler. If I decide not to paint it, I will likely find one of those cheap paint places that advertise $500 paint jobs and have them spray it olive green again.
My CUCV was repainted by a PO and it’s an average job at best. I’d like to go back to green someday. It’s a chore to strip the interior and glass out though. Since there’s no major dents and no rust, it’s difficult to justify. I have a few pickups with crap paint. I really like making them mint everywhere that can’t be seen at first glance, but leaving the body in a state of IDGAF.
