August 28, 201411 yr Mechanic declared my 93 Loyale unsafe for the road The drivers side rear stut is losing structure at the top due to rust... Have put lots of luv into this car....is it done?
August 28, 201411 yr Unless the car is sustaining a number of places where structural integrity can be questioned, it's usually a pretty easy trip to a local welder to ad some structural rigidity. Those rear strut towers did rust out but I've seen a number of them repaired with a couple chunks of steel and some welding. I've used a few local welders off of craigslist for similar jobs before I learned to weld myself. If you were local, I'd offer to do the job for you for a pizza and a 12 pack of soda.
August 28, 201411 yr Author thanks the car is in Vermont, wish I'd taken pics I spent some time, (not enough) trying to figure where it could be rewelded / reworked I searched but didn't find anything info here... does anyone or do you, A.S.,have pics of a repair? Too much work and luv has gone into this vehicle to send it to the scrap yard Looking for encouraging news (will try to get pics but I'm 4 hrs away now) Many thanks
