Come on Bill! Quit flaming me just 'cause I'm a closet historian. :) I -WANT- to repair mine. When I evaluate a problem with my car, I look at all the possibilities. If I can reinforce mine until I can afford a replacement that's the way I want to go. I'm just preparing for the possibility that mine's too far gone. Believe me, I don't want to tear things up anymore than necessary. I've had rain for like 3 straight days or I would have posted pictures by now. By the way, if you have any welding skills I'll rent the damn MIG welder and feed and house you if you'll come up and help me. Specifically, the there are a couple of clean breaks at points that could be re-joined with fresh metal. The top portion is drooping and hence my radiator along with it. There is one point on the passenger side where the steering rack mounts to that appears to have some small movement when you turn the steering wheel. This, most importantly needs reinforced if possible. I'm pulling a mid-shift tonight so I'll be home today. If I can get enough light in there for my crummy digital cam I'll get some pictures.
