Mama-mia.

The only reason I like living in Florida is because I don't see that often. I found this page, I don't know if it will be much help but you might find something.

You'll be fine since it's not rusted through.

I'd be more worred about leaking fluid and the steering components.

Thats a main structural component!!!

Weld that sucker

And I am worried about my strut tower cracks!!

Good time for a chassis swap or a tubular cha$$i$
