Bye Bye Pinch Weld...

So I came across a decent xj on Craigslist. The guy wants $800 for a 97' with a set of 33" and 31" tires, a spare 94' aw4 and t-case, and some good center caps for my Eliminator wheels.

 

The xj needs a little work and is pretty rusty but what has me worried is that to fit the 33" tires, he just cut the fenders back. Front and rear.... So the pinch seam no longer exists in the rear. It is only about a 1/16" gap on the inner and outer fender so I could weld it up but I'm wondering if there is lasting affects of not having that pinch weld and if it's OK to drive for a little while with the gap..

Well I've got no choice but to drive it to my house and then to where I'm gonna be welding it.. Do you think it'll screw the body up pretty bad to drive it cautiously until I weld it?
