So....how does the trailing move up and down with that bar welded to it connected to the engine support bar? Regardless, I agree with the Doc, yank the engine, transaxle and media blast the entire area to see what you really have to work with.

If it turns out that the tub isn't worth saving, now you're ready for a new tub parts swap! I’m just kidding. I’ve learned a lot from parting and cutting up cars. Unfortunately not enough to learn how to put them back together. The ones I cut up wasn’t due to rust but done because the PO’s “repairs”, usually with a stick welder, pop rivet gun and plywood had made the car dangerous and even more difficult to repair. Whatever the OP decides will be a good learning experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
