alright so i went with my girlfriend to look at a 13 for her, the car is a 90 coupe, burgandy, super clean, but...... upon my inspection i found that the driver side strut tower was torn pretty bad. i need to know if i patch it will it be ok? they dont know how it got that way, they got the car as a trade in, and i guess didnt notice it, but anyways, do you think it can be fixed? cause other than that the car is immaculant. straight frame, good paint, no real leaks, much less engine grime than other ka's ive seen, ill be goin back tomorrow to drive it to see if its still stable, im just worried if she gets it and starts drving it the strut tower will collapse or fold or somethin...

anyways, heres some pics, not actual car, just some pics of an empty bay i found to show you the damage

its caused by manifold heat, and sometimes brake fluid spill. Welder and 18 gauge steel can fix it.
