How much do ya think it will cost to fix?? It is past the rear subframe and wheel well, its basically under the trunk.

No I'd just like it fixed. I plan on completely restoring the frame/body in a few years. I just cant weld right now and I need it fixed.. I'll call around. thankls for the quick response!

Ok so would it be cheaper and cleaner looking If i went to a yard and chopped that piece out and had them weld it in place??

 

Yea pretty much IMO.

 

Is that frame piece hollow? I would assume so.

 

Just make sure the new isn't to mangled from removal.

if i were doing the repair i'd cut out the bad part back to the nearest good clean metal, in straight lines with square edges. then make up a patch with the brake and weld it in. i'd prefer not to work with something hacked out of a junkyard car because in the long run it would be easier to just make a new patch.

 

example of my work so you understand i'm not talking out of my ass:
