If a car frame got patched for rust (some hole rust, drilled away, and patched by welding)

How good or bad will the frame become? It's only 1 patch so far, and it's a 92 240SX.

Depends on the quality of the job. So long as they protected the metal on the inside and the out, you should be fine. A patch job is just as good as the original, so long as they protected it from rust.

Hi Hijacker

Do you know where can I look up more information about patching frame, and what is a good quality patch & bad quality patch?

Other than that, will the extra weld on the frame affect the rigidity of the frame?(1 side have weld, but the other side don't.... will it really affect the performance)

Sorry to ask this newbie question......
