hey everyone! i recently picked up a used 1989 nissan 240sx fastback, like every one else i grown to love the car. well the car runs but the chassis is rusted out up to a point where parts of the frame rail under the driver seat is falling off! i was wondering if there is a place to repair it considering i live in the city and i have no place to actually work on the car. any suggestions or place? or should i just find another decent rolling chassis and swap everything over?

thanks

you should try regional forums on here since you are looking for a relatively local shop.

you may be able to get a good piece of floor pan welded in place of your rusted one. I would personally just get a better chassis if you are planning on fixing it up at all, but since you have no place to actually work on the car, I don't see how getting a rolling chassis & swapping everything over would be easier than having new/better condition metal cut & welded in @ a shop.
