AdventureSubaru Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 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.

AdventureSubaru Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 can you get a few pics of the rusted area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXJ Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
