Hello son, today I was looking at my strut towers and saw a little rust. Sooo I started poking around and grinding away to see how far the rust extended and this is where I’m at:

Does this look bad? Easy repair??? I’m thinking that the spot welds will have to be drilled out and will have to cut out a new rectangle plate to replace that piece, correct me if I’m wrong.

thats an easy one to do… if i had a welder handy id do it for dinner. Find a bud with a welder and bring him a case and should take maybe an hour.
