Re: Big problem
"big problems" are all relative...
you definitely have work to do that requires some work but this is fully repairable... you may want to take stock of the entire condition, ie does the floor need replaced and other items while you are at it
here is my example of this type of work... it was quite a big problem when i got started...

Re: Big problem
Yes the floor pans need replaced as well which I'm gonna be starting the project real soon like 2 weeks from now is that section able to be bought individually or do I need another car to cut the section out of?

Re: Big problem
you are going to need pieces cut from a donor car for the front sub frame parts so depending on how you are going to go about it, it might be easiest to just get the entire floor section from a cut out
you can get new floor pieces now but you can't get new sub frame sections at this point

Re: Big problem
Thank you for the input I knew I could get the pan sections but wasn't sure about the frame sections so I will get a cut out from another shell thank you

Re: Big problem
Depending on where you are, you might have difficulty finding something worthy as a donor.
I had some similar (but not as severe) damage to mine, and fixed it with 1/8" plate.
