classic rust
 

just found some rust in storage bins, DID a search, but my only question: is the area just above and to the left of the sway bar attatchment area Necessary. The area of rust, after being completely pounded out is 5in by 2in. Is this area a ""structual aupport area"" or ""weight barring""?? I"m ASSUMING i'll have to get soem metal and weld, 16gauge ya think?

There is a structural part that rusts through where the upper control arm attaches to.

Yelp it provides rigidity for the suspension. It needs to be there..

allright, i'll get 2 peices of some thick sheet metal, (my dad can get ANY metal i need, stainless, lightweight, even small pieces of titanium, not that i would need that) My grandpa is a retired welder, and would be more than happy to do the job, THANK GOD this is gona be basically free, cause my car needs a lot done to it, and it needs to be my daily driver starting in March.
