Reddit's right, you know. All you need to do is buy fifty bucks in plate steel from the local Autozone and then hold it up to the frame rails of the car really hard while thinking about that girl who laughed in your face when you finally screwed up the courage to ask her out for the prom THE MISANDRIST SLUT and then your car is all fixed. Or you could just buy a car you can fix and will be worth something after the fixing.

This thread is beautiful. Well worth the money on shipping and HF gearbage that was wasted. FWIW, I gave a similar kit to a neighbors' kid who got his first car, a  DECADE PLUS OLD NORTHSTAR CADDY that leaks more oil than it burns. He's kept it running at least a year, now.

Realistically how hard WOULD it be to make an adequate repair to that portion of frame? Cut out the rusty frame rail, weld in some square tube and then reinforce across the whole section with a piece of plate on three sides? I haven't looked at the pic since it was posted so it's probably worse than I remember.

I haven't looked at the pic since it was posted so it's probably worse than I remember. The problem is not necessarily with the rail he posted the picture of. Rust damage that severe in one area goes hand-in-hand with rust damage in other areas, most probably areas even harder to get to/see, but again, still structural. Rust is something that is just not worth chasing. Once a car starts to rust, it never stops unless you do a comprehensive restoration, which is almost never worth the time/effort/expense. That thing has got to feel like a limp noodle when it's cornering at 80mph.

It can be worth fixing, if you are experienced in repairs or have the aptitude for it; or the car is worth more than 4k in dollars or sentimental reasons. No conditions have been met though. E: in short: is this a special car worth paying $5k on? Or are you uncleskin, kev barlas or moecow? Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Feb 13, 2015 |

He's still posting in other subforums so the car must not have turned to powdered rust mid-drive yet.

I like how the top comment on his Reddit post is about pissing in a well. Did they steal that from us, or is it another case of SA assuming we invented something that was already prior art?
