Default real bad torque boxes

Is it worth buying a fox body with real bad torque boxes? How much would the cost be to repair them? They are so bad that there is a hole on each side of the torque boxes that can be seen when the rear seats are removed. The car is a 90 ssp notchback.

anything can be repaired with enough time and money. just depends if its worth it to you. pics would really help in this occasion to judge how bad they really are.

Unfortunatly pics are not available but from how they describe it, is said that they are so bad that there is already a hole in the rear near the rear seats on each side of the torque boxes.

I believes they are asking around 3000. How much be a reasonable offer for it since the torque boxes are gone and need repair?

Ehhhh, you can buy a solid car for that price. IDK about finding a SSP for that price though.
