Default Fed up with this thing. Thinking of selling. Whats it worth?

Well ive realy lost track of how much ive got into this rig. Its a 87 jeep comanche with 55k miles on it.

4.0l
231 transfer case
Peugeot 5 speed
97 dana 30 hp and 8.25 out of a cherokee
Rubicon express adjustable lower control arms
Unknown track bar, and springs
Bald 33x12.5 baja claws
Brake lines replaced
Full tune up and new brakes recently. As in 65 miles
New front wheel bearings
custom front bumper
New cab corners
Needs clutch line, and frame work.

Ill add a picture of the frame but ill also try and describe it. Its not there. 3 out of 4 sides have rusted away. I had a friend plate it, but its not 100%

As much as i hate too, im debating selling it. I just would like to know, in you guys opinion, what is it worth?

I guess i missed these couple pics when i uploaded first. We used 3/16x3 inch steel. The only problem was that he would blow through everywhere he welded. The frame is soft for about 3 feet. To the point where i can push on it with my hand and you can see it bow.

Do you guys really think its worth fixing?

I cant realy build my own frame. Right now i dont even have a garage. And in order to weld, im hooked up to a 50 ft extension cord. So im lucky to get penetration when doing body work.

Just out of curiosity though, if i were to have a friend build the frame for me, how much of a cost would i be looking at in materials? Ive looked online and been finding 4' sections of 3x6 3/16 rectangular tubing for $100 bucks. That seems really steep to me. But then again ive never really done any frame work so i have no clue.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. You folks on this forum have been very very helpful to me in all aspects of my little project!
