Give it to me straight guys how bad is this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Should I replace all of the panels or is there an alternatve? There is a small 3/8 hole in the top of the frame member but there is NO rust on the bottom side of the car (jack point/suspension mount). |

How much do you like this particular car? How much work have you put into it so far?
If you can weld, it is very saveable. Not a real huge deal. But if you can find a non-rusty donor car, it might wind up being easier to swap the good parts over. --DD |
