Is this rust repairable?

[xagna]

I'm in the middle of eliminating some rust on the body of a s13 coupe.There are some holes under the driver side floor pan and frame rails around it. And also little holes on the frame rail inside driver side wheel well. Followings are the pictures of it.

Judging from the picture, do you think this is repairable? Do you think even after repair, this will decrease the chassis' strength and integrity?

yup, w/ enuff $ it's repairable...

will be like that in most s13's since the brake and clutch cylinders are there & they tend to leak fluid to that area, stripping the paint, then rust will attack...

Yeah it's repairable, know a good welder though? Cuz that rust looks pretty brutal

looks like a big task in front of you and a nice labor fee at that... imo its repairable. Some structural integrity of the car may have been lost with the rust eating away the frame rails... But in general the coupe should be ok... if in doubt, you can always run a cage... after fixing the rust situation of course.....

Dude just bring that in to a welder, have them box that section of the frame rail. If thats the only part rusted like that it shouldn't be too bad of a cost. I assuming the rest of the car is in good shape and that you love it very much

Shop around, any capable welder can patch in a strong piece of sheet metal along the section you're worried about.

ive got basically the same problem , big *** section is all rotted out like that..and under my driver side floor pan..and the rear fram rail suppsrting the driver side quarter panel area is like that too..there quite a few welders around here...what kind of metal is that and what are some techniques of cleaning it up before hand...oo and dont forget the undercoat afterwards
