Its a sad day for the Max

well i think my car has reached its demise. appart for the "heasitation problem" the vg's seems to have (mine it really bad now), i was in the middle of a stereo upgrade when i pulled the rear seats out i noticed some orange discoloration. upon further inspection i see that the top of the wheel well has rusted throught the car about 6 inches below the strut mount. The holes are only about an inch each (one on either side of the car) but on the passanger side there is a hole almost beside the door. Has anyone else seen this and is this terminal, im really quite sadened by this.

remove weld in new pieces sounds like a lot of work proly will cost more than the car is worth unless you can do it yourself still proly not worth it
