The following two photos show the first piece of new metal going back into the car. I am preparing to weld in the suspension console, so I needed to at least fix the top of the longitudinal where the console will attach. I decided to break up the rust repair in small tasks, so I am focusing on the console, rather than the rest of the longitudinal at this instance. I was exited to at least get a piece of metal in without blowing holes through everything. That little piece of metal has a backing behind it so that I would have an eiser time welding the seem. I also spot welded three holes to the inner longitudinal, at least one of which I am very confident of its strenght.
