If all of your panels are solid, but junk...

So here's my biggest struggle with my truck; the body is junk. Well most of it... I had the cab rust fixed professionally. The doors are new. Other than that it's a mess of dents and crappy body work and multicolor paint.

I can't justify or afford going all the way at the moment. Twins due any day but the rest of the build I feel like I did right and didn't skimp so I don't want to skimp on the body when the time is right.

The bed was smashed on a corner and smothered in bondo so I fixed that to the best of my ability but it required me to use oval trailer lights "frenched" if you will . The hood had a dent that was fixed by the previous owner with lots of bondo and the fenders seem decent, but knowing the rest of the body work on this thing who knows what's under the paint!

So, the question, for you experienced people (read first project/resto) is should I rattle can it since all I plan to save is cab and doors? I know what I should do is go all the way but I just can't right now. It also needs a few more things mechanically to wrap it up and I'd rather it be reliable than pretty. Ahhhh what to do! And the color is white too btw.

Thanks guys
