this image being detail of same car as steel bar welded from engine mount to suspension trailing arm?

agreed...
and honestly a rust repaired car is worth less than a never been rusty, original car.
yes... a very professional repair is better than an amateur one... but that will have to be determined by a future caretaker down the road...

This car has some of the most significant rust and PO repairs I've seen... aka the rear trailing arm.

unfortunately the unit body is a lot more difficult to piece together than a british car with a frame.
