perspectiveshifting Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've been slowly rebuilding a project car that was left to rust, and the one portion I'm at a loss with is a part of the body and frame rail that's been eaten out under the battery. I understand from what I've read that this is a fairly common problem spot for less cared for 240's, but I would love to do what I can to get this otherwise beautiful car on the road. I'm not looking to make it perfect looking or anything initially, but I would really appreciate suggestions for how to get it patched up enough that it's not in danger of shaking itself apart on the road. I've got a couple of frame rails and the equipment to weld them in, but my concern is with the portion I need to actually weld to. The included pictures should illustrate the issue adequately, but tell me if I can take any different shots or explain the issue any more thoroughly. What would you do to make this car driveable? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I hugely appreciate any input! Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I would find a donar part and cut out as much as you need to replace the bad area 1 Quote Link to comment
