Ok guys, for those of you who have gotten hard core into taking your rigs apart, I guess this is who I should direct the question to. I've got two 96' Rodeos and need a bit of advise. My first vehicle has been in a couple of minor accidents and well, with insurance companies not wanting to pay for appropriate vehicle repairs and their inflated damage estimates to justify claiming a lower cost total of the vehicle, sufice it to say, I am going to have to scrap my beloved first Rodeo. Anyway, I retained salvage, as I have lots of things on the vehicle I want to keep. Seeing as I've spent a lot of time maintaining it and keeping parts and such, I bought a second one with a slightly faulty engine, but better other options. 4x4, manual, pristeen engine bay and interior. It has some minor fender and bumper damage, but nothing I can't replace with the parts I already have. To get to the point here, I got the new rig for about 750 plus another hundred for gas and towing to my house from where I bought it. As I bought the vehicle from North Carolina, I noticed that there is a bit of rust on the underside. My frame is in great condition on my old rig. As I want to build a great looking rig, and I hate the sight of rust, is it cheaper to try and scrape and sand a rusted frame, or would it be more effective to pull my old, yet unrusted and undamaged frame and strap it on the new one. As I have nothing but time to do this since I have a third daily driver now, is it worth trying to pull everything and swap bodies, etc. to my old rig. Would there be an issue with titles in doind something like this? My new rig has a clean title and my old one is salvage. I'd rather not have to deal with the hassle not to mention devalue of having an inspected title in rebuilding my new Rodeo. Thanks for your feedback guys.
