Then again we can pull two motors out of these and install the good one back in the good car in less than 4 hours soooo..
For most people, suspension work,brakes, and minor cosmetic work is easy to do at home. Let’s be honest most people are not pulling a motor and trans at home. They are paying for it. Paying for some rust is much cheaper than engine/tranny work.

Plus you can live for awhile with a bit of rust, but you can’t drive the car with a blown engine or tranny.

Clearly it’s different for different people, neither are wrong, one size does not fit all.
