Well let's go to the Problem Directly

i have an s13 89 &nbsp; and the body have some rust on it... well &nbsp;maybe a lot ... &nbsp;but the frame is okay... &nbsp;and the motor is perfect

Would be a good idea to have a full body repair and paint ..

or its a better idea to wait for a good &nbsp;deal &nbsp;on clean s13 ?

Well ill wait for your comment..

thx in advance

It really depends on where you live. &nbsp;If it snows there, and your car was purchased in a place that it doesn't snow... you will get rust on the underframe anyway. &nbsp;I'd look for a car from a snowy state if thats where you live.
If it doesn't snow there, disregard that.
Rust is a problem, and once it starts, it doesn't stop. &nbsp;I would seriously wait and get a clean car. &nbsp;If you live in snow, and the only car you can get is from a non-snow state, there are shops that can line the undercarriage with rustproofing stuff.
Its either that, or replace the body panels. &nbsp;The fenders are $149 each, the hood is $249, and I dunno the rear or door panels, or the trunk prices. &nbsp;
Clean car would be cheaper, and less hassle. &nbsp;Plus, if you keep the rusty car, you can have a spare engine to modify, without any downtime on your daily driver.

I would definitely get a clean one. &nbsp;Preferrably a 91 - newer hb so you can get yourself a DOHC engine <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

sell it.. find one in better shape. Body work is insanely expensive.
