clean off all the rust and like said above, get a new piece and weld it on in. it can be fixed rather then get a new shell, just be sure to not half-*** it. the flux core would do the job, but i would suggest you get someone with experience to use the mig on the load bearing bracket. the mig can look like a nice clean weld but be real weak.

Re: need advice

Shortest project I've ever had.My friend wrote for sale dirtcheap on while it was being towed and some dude followed it to my place and offered me $800.I was like sure since I doubled what I payed for it without doing nothing.
