Default beyond repair?

Long time, no post. Hope all is well with everyone.

I've been considering a jeep to plow my driveway. I have the plow already; now i just need the jeep.
Would you consider this reasonably beyond repair in regards to the frame rot? Not much of a body guy.

Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't mess with a vehicle with a rotted frame. Spend $500 more and you should find a much nicer jeep.

I think the phrase is run, don't walk, run away from this one.

the frame can be replaced for $3500 replacement frame. plus of course your labor....
but the ad also send the floors on the body are rusted through.
but you can buy those parts too...
by the time you were done you'll have replaced everything and it will be like new.

there is no way I'd attach a rusted out frame to a plow though.
