Also, that much rust ? You could buy a nismo power brace to replace your tension rod brackets, it is one of the few braces that actually do something. I fear this chassis i a whole rust bucket though ... before spending anymore cash in in it, check wheel wells, subframe and sills for rust damage. The more pics you show, the more i think there is not much to do with this one (except keeping it for parts)
Sorry you're completely wrong. There is not rust anywhere besides the braces. As you can see the braces had some welding done to it and they just left it like that so rust easily built up on it. I have done body work all around this car and it's clean. I have removed so much bondo and pulled so many dents its not even funny. Before I bought I checked everywhere for rust but it's clean. I am going to take it to a frame shop today or tomorrow and have them check if it's tweaked or not.
Visually looking at the frame it doesn't look tweaked but a computerized rack will have the best results of telling me if it's tweaked or not.
