Question rust repair help

im going to drive this f-ing car off a bridge. i wnet to get tires today and while my car was on the lift i saw it. RUST to fill you guys in this is my 2nd body in about a year. the first one i still have but its not in use due to the missing upper control arm mounts. they rusted away and someone repaired it w/o making a new mount. i got a whole new car from the scrapyard with a bad motor...swapped over everything to make it an SEand now this. i have the dreaed bin rust and its taking my drivers side control arm mount with it. even where there is no rust the metal is tearing. how can i fix this. if i cant fix it ill prolly just sell the car and be done with rotarys for good

i've felt this way too many times, if you have a genuine passion for rx7's let alone rotary's you can never let go

Get it back on the lift or jackstands, pull the bins and post pics, we can guide you through the repair. You will need access to a grinder, cutoff tool/sawzall/torch and a wirefeed welder.
