My Tracker's rust is much worse than I thought. I don't know if it will be cost effective to fix it or part it out. Everything works on it but the ecm (which I will have fixed once the caps come in). I need help finding a rust free body for it. Time and effort really aren't an issue, cost is the issue. Should I attempt to fix/replace the body or just part it out? Need some input on what would be the best way to go about it. My vehicles specs are in my signature.

Funny, when I found my chassis was really rusty and in bad shape a couple of months ago, I searched this forum, and couldn't find very many posts about rust, etc. Was beginning to think it was only my Tracker (living by sea for 18 years). Now, suddenly, here are a bunch of people finding rust! It's making me feel better! I must agree, NEVER get rid of this truck. I can not find any junked Trackers here (in Ireland) so had no choice but to repair mine. Found a mig welding 'artist' who made my chassis like new. Reinforced my opinion that NOTHING is impossible...
Wow! You guys are passionate about these little vehicles. I guess this confirms me saving the vehicle. I will be taking it to the body shop in october or november (whenever the caps get here). 3 month waiting period from Mouser! It will be a cold ride without a top.
