That is bad. I've seen worse repaired though. That whole area needs to be redone. Those fuel lines are even more concerning. Rust is one thing.....fire is on a whole different level. You will need to pull the engine,, drop the k member, and remove the struts to get in there like you need to.
You need to go through your brake and fuel lines ASAP. That crack is concerning too.
Ha yup totally, most of the lines, brake and fuel, are like that. had a hell of a time getting the connectors separated.
They are coming out to be replaced with fresh.
I've got the motor out and the K-member is next.
I've also noticed that crack and have started investigations. I'm going to peel down the face and see what's next.
This car has done a lot of 'dukes of hazzard' style stuff back in the day so I would expect to find a few surprises like this.
I'm surprised the body has held out to the 'abuse' but not the oxidization. She's sat in uncontrolled environments for years. (sadly
)
