Gotta start working on my project car. starting with the rust and such. Any suggestions to fixing this? Driver side pillar

 

oh good luck, that is not a good place to have rust. Cut and replace, but have someone who is really good at welding... I've seen people part their cars out because of that area.

 

Never!! I am determined how long it takes to make this baby a star again lol. I have a guy who is handy. Thank you!

 

Third Gen Ranch may have a replacement.

 

I only can find the passenger side. I'll probably just have to cut and replace. It shouldn't be to hard, I know a guy who could do this, he's good like that.

 

do you have a replacement for it yet?I'm scrapping a shell real soon and would love to see pieces of it go to fix other cars rather than to the crusher

 

I'm looking for a very solid lower core support piece. It's the long piece of metal underneath the radiator if you're not familiar with it. In what condition is yours?

 

STL in the house! Im 1 hr north of gateway on I55.
I suggest you go to the JY (speedway) by the racetrack. they have a bunch of 3rdgens with many parts.
I also would like to say that if the strut tower is that bad you prolly have more serious issues with the car all over. I looked at a car that was @ speedway and couldnt figure out y it was there...looked great outside but pop the hood/ pull the carpet back and it was rusty soooo bad everywhere..
Good luck!

 

If its that rusty on the top, pull the front wheel and the plastic liner off and check the underside.. Its probably worse a lot farther down than you think.

 

Surprisingly everything else isnt that bad, and its just the top of it too. Idk how it got so bad. but everything else seems fine.
