Was the car ever rolled or impacted in such a fashion as to stress the roll cage?

If not, then hell yea id reuse it, but if its ever been stressed or some **** like that, id ditch it.

I don't see the problem with that, as long as it doesn't have bad rust/cracks in the pipes or welds.

I could be wrong.
