whatsastance

alright so i have 2 options on chassis that i will be buying, and they're both 95 s14's. one of which is only 20 minutes and it's a buddy of mine's. the other is about 2 hours away. they're both auto, the farther one is swapped but i don't know how well and it doesn't run. my friends would run and he has all the parts just needs to be put together, (he was gonna swap it but ran out of cash). The one 2 hours away is an se and has the five lugs, and doesn't really have rust other than a few parts starting on the rear quarter and one rocker. my friends has a considerable amount on the quarters and some on the underside, and under the battery tray. i guess i'm thinking would it be better to get the one i know is untouched other than taking shit out and dealing with the rust or get the one farther away that i don't know what they did with any of the wiring or their swap?
