Backstory: I bought this 87' LX-i Hatch as my first car back in 2017. It was extremely beat up and not well cared for. Regardless, It has served me as a reliable daily for the past 3 years. I wanted to put some money into it and make it a nice car but the one thing holding me back was the terrible condition of the frame. The only area that really worries me is the Pinch Rails near the rear jack point area. I have included pics to show the damage. If possible, I want to cut out this rust and weld in new metal, but the area that is rusted out seems hard to fabricate a patch panel for. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to tackle this project. I would like to repair this vehicle instead of just getting a new shell since I have a sentimental attachment to this car. Any advice would be Appreciated.
