Strut tower and wheel well rust. Please help.

[Josh240]

Hey guys, I recently just bought a 93 SE Coupe and kinda jumped the gun on it. I was wondering if it was worth it to fix the rust or just find another 240. There's some rust on both the strut towers where it meets with the frame as well as the wheel well. Is this worth welding? How would it affect the structural integrity of the car? Thanks in advance.

I think that could be fixed.

thats weldable, just lift the car up and take you whole front end off and go at it with a wire whel till all the rust is gone and paint it. then weld a plate on the top and the bottom of the hole.

or

lift it up and do the same but cut out the section with a cut-off disk and weld in a piece the same size and shape of the hole you cut out.

Cut, weld in patch, grind down welds, paint. I've fixed worse.

Not a 240, since mine isn't rusted.

That can be fixed. Look behind your wheels. The lower part of the strut towers rust out often on midwest cars. If it is, don't bother fixing it. Just sell it, and look for a cleaner chassis.
