Yes, it will be well worn. The shine on those hub caps has to go and I am planning some sort of work rack.
In the Philippines, labor is very inexpensive, so one off custom made racks and bumpers are very common.

Hey Jon, I kinda liked the 'camo' thing ya had goin' on there! 
Something I've learned about painting (through trial & error...mostly the latter  ) is that when you want to give something a brighter, or newer look, prime with a light color (light gray, or white) For an older, more weathered appearance, prime with dark brown, or black...

Top rack was formed of wire, then some wire mesh soldered on to protect the rear window.

The brush guard was just formed out of wire close in diameter to the mounting of the original bumper, so it just presses in.
The front bumper was just formed out of thicker brass rod (1/16") and later glued to the body under the brush gaurd.

The rear bumper was made by first forming some wire to make its' mounts. Most of the mounts were cut off after soldering. It was done this way, so in the end the spacing between the mounts would be right, and they would be straight.

The mount formed and test fit.
