Has anyone tried to repair their rusted thru towers? I'm in the middle of a 5-speed swap and saw a little hole on passenger side tower, so I started poking around with just my fingers, now I have a hole the width of the tower……CRAP! Anyone try this project with success or not worth the trouble. The rest of car is much better shape, some rust on floors that I was gonna take care of soon. But I know its probably alot worse than it looks. I've seen the patch panels from Latemodel, but now those aren't big enough. Thoughts anyone?
Mine was a little better, but similar. We welded in some steel plate, and also partially welded in the aftermarket K member in a couple places. No problems since.
Good, I have one more picture to post tonight from the wheel well view showing the box section of frame, its not pretty. Thanks for the replys, just gotta jump in and start fabricating.
