My 1986 240 has a great body. The only blemishes are on the fenders where there is rust, shoddy repair attempts and off-colour spray paint. Much of this is within 2" along the edge of the fenders.

I'm looking into trim or cover-up.

Most of the flare kits I've seen don't cover any of the existing ...

If you want to try flip for profit, stop now and run away.

If you want 5 years/50k more miles and are willing to wrench yourself, you can do it on that 2k budget.
