Re: I think I have my next project lined up.
That frame needs some work, but doesnt look too bad. It needs a few small repairs, but nothing major and you can get rid of that orange paint. It looks like it came with some poly engine mounts... not all is lost.
Not sure what you are thinking... Ive done framework before and it can seem as simple as making a cut and throwing down a bead, but its not. The strength of a cut frame highly depends on how you perform the cuts, prep and the skill you posess in making strong welds. The frame you purchased doesnt appear bent or unusable, just needs some simple repair. Repairs that wont in my opinion affect structural integrity or put other people at risk. To mount the newer model bumper on the older frame will not be that hard, plus you have all the measurments right in front of you on the longbed. Not to be mean either, but thats pretty scary that you didnt check the trailer over before using it and packing bearings is not a hard task.
