rust issues at control arm

[MADMIKE]

So I have a bit of a rust issue on my 84Z slicktop. Under the radiator support, where the control arm bolts up on the drivers' side, i have a spot of rot that has separated the control arms mounting spot. what do you guys think, is it repairable. I can get it welded but i am in the market for a great rolling chasis.

unless its rotted through just sand wheel, re-treat the metal, seal, and spray it.

its not attached and hanging about an inch or two. i still drive it daily but it needs alot of suspension work

:shock: Its your life, do with it what you wish.

It could be reparable but no way of knowing until you tear it appart and get all the rot cut back to good metal to see what you have left to work with and weld to.

Ouch, was it a nothern car?

You should adress that ASAP, its only going to spread.

hmm im just going to sell the whole car. I got this one for under $1k so no big loss. I'm just going to find a rust free z31 and mod from there
