What to do???

Ok, I have a 98 Ranger AWD with a 98 Explorer 5.0 in it. The truck is yellow, has no power accessories and has some body rot. I bought the truck a few months ago with the swap already done. I also have a complete 99 Explorer donor. I was going to rebuild that engine and put it in the Ranger and then fix it up. Now I am thinking about selling the Ranger and buying a 2wd to swap the 99 Explorer motor into. The reson for selling is because I also have a 2003 FX4 Off-Road with the 4.0 SOHC as a daily driver so I don't really need another 4x4. Also because I don't like the color or the fact it has no power accessories. So I don't know whether to sell it and get another one or keep it and just fix it up, swap in power accessories and paint it. I think it will be more work and money to do that. If I sell it for say 3 grand, I could pick up a decent 97-98 2wd for around 2 grand. That gives me another thousand dollars to put into the truck. I don't know, what would you do?

Anybody? Help me out here people! What would you do in my situation?

A swap is probably much cheaper and more fun than good paint.

That's just my two cents.

Plus you seem to want 2wd and power accessories...

Yea, I am leaning more towards selling this one and getting another 98 to do the swap. I am finding this one has more problems than I knew about and have to fix. Like, he cut all the wires off the O2 sensors! The truck runs ok but it can't be running too effeciently. He also set up the return fuel line and that is causing Evap System high pressure codes. I am suprised I didn't get more responces here but thanks for your input!
