Should i do an engine swap?
 
i am looking into doing an engine swap or selling my car because it has an internal coolant leak, i was wondering if it would be worth my while to keep the body and drop in another tii engine. or should i just sell it and buy a new one. the body has about 350,000+

-those torque ripples on the rear wheel well are also on the other side
- some pealing paint under wheel wells
- tear on passenger side wheel well about 20- 25 mm (ill grab a better pic of this of need be)
- other than that i cant see any noticeable rust underneath the car, just some along the side skirts but the car has been undercoated.
-disregard missing ftp lens fixing it soon

the shell looks fine to me. as long as its not rusty underneath it should be fine. i guess its up to you if you want to spend more money on a different shell and if you can find one in better condition for a decent price in your area.

Doesn't look too bad. Does it drive straight and everything?

ya it drives fine, straight. the only thing is that whenever i plug in the power steering computer it beeps sometimes with my aftermarket steering wheel, i haven't tested it with my stock, but the plastic ring with the 2 protruding arrows is cracked so that could be why.

the only thing that concerns me are those torque ripples on the rear wheel wells and when i jacked the car up i made a small dent just in front of driver seat, should i?
