On the right of that photo you can see I've already started welding in a patch to connect the side frame rail to the rear cross member. I don't know what it's supposed to look like stock since it had rusted away. I suspect this is a major weak point in these cars. Another common weak/rusty spot is on the left and right of the car where it rises for the rear seats. I suspect these are commonly used jack points, but aren't meant to be. As such, they rust. I think it's a fairly "structural" point in the car as well. Since my metal forming skills are so piss poor I have to make these patches from two pieces on each side. Here is the first welded in place.
