It is a sad day....I started poking things with a screwdriver and found that a lot more was bad than I thought. Metal that looked good on the outside turned out to be rotted thru from the inside. The hole itself is not that bad, but the longitudinal is pretty much shot. And somehow the motor mount got rusted thru in some parts. Does anyone even sell a motor mount to replace that bit? I am not agains fabricating. I think I am going to follow Michelko's lead and replace the inner wheelhouse. Anyone have any tips on the motor mount?

I want to see a pic taken from much further away. Is the car laying on it's side? Is it on a rotissorie? Where is the floor?
Are you somehow attached to the car? If not, you may consider getting a rust free California tub shipped to you to start with (you may be money ahead doing that). If you are going to weld this one back together, I wish you the best of luck. You may want to bolt the suspension points to some sort of jig so they don't move too much when you try to repair the floor and the long. I hope you at least have some door braces bolted in place. I have seen worse. |
