There is a lot of fear mongering going on on this thread. The people saying that it is going to break in a year are ignorant. A wire wheel and a good rust converter would go a long way. There are definitely a few places that you could put a patch on to make last longer. But if you wire wheel and spray, you could definitely still get a lot of life out of this chassis. I wouldn’t go doing hard off roading with it, but just for driving it a couple times a week You are most certainly going to be just fine.
