Is this the end of my 850? 850 1996

James,

Thanks for your reply. My local auto body shop who I have had a relationship for a number of years has looked at the rust. The owner is confident he can cut out the rusted portions and install replacement parts off a donor. He said the cost will just be the time to cut the replacement portions out of the donor car and than welding them in place on my car. He said the fee will not be extravagant. I can only hope. Once this rust is repaired, I hope it doesn't return. If possible, I would like to get another 4 or 5 years out of this car before I retire it. I know just like me: it isn't immortal. I have sunk a lot of money into this car. I just hope I am not going on a financial fools errand.

Hugh
