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). |

I am almost done with thewelding rust repair in this area and I have another question.
I am adding a Permacool oil cooler to the car and was wanting to cut a hole in the spot shown in the pic. The cooler will be mounted in the fenderwell as far forward as possible. The plan is to try to pull more fresh air into the engine bay and exaust it into the fenderwell. Do you think this will physically hurt the car? Should I weld a plate around the hole?
