Any pictures? Steel is surprisingly strong, even when it's rusted up pretty well.

Judging by the way the rest of these cars rust, I am not surprised at all. I always rust proof my cars.

i didnt have a camera with me, so i know this thread is practically worthless, but trust me, it was bad, and it had to be replaced. surprised, too, the previous owner allegedly "simonized" the undercarriage.
