Re: At what point should I consider a body swap?

I wouldn’t consider options 2 and 3 myself. If you’re going to scrap it, you may as well just run it as it is until it get to be too unsafe to drive, then part it out. Maybe by then you’ll have found a rust free donor.

Maybe floor pans and rockers if you want to keep it a long time and then just coat all the other rust with corroseal to help slow it down?

I’m in the same situation with my ‘88. From the front doors to the nose it is in perfect shape but from the rear doors to the barn doors, it is rusted so bad I don’t think it can be salvaged. So I’m just going to keep running it until the day I feel it just isn’t safe anymore.
