So I knew my front crossmember was not in perfect shape. A trip to the sandblaster only reveals the ugly underneath 40 years of grime. So the question is, do I put my POR on it and put it back in as it will still function fine for another 5-10 years, or do I replace it now?
Personally, I think it's still fine to put back in for at least a couple years. My sandblast guy said he got a rough quote to fix it at a little over $100. I don't see the value in repairing it if I can buy a new one for about $200.
I know the radiator sits on top of it and front bumper brace attaches to it, so it's offering some structural support, but not several hundred pounds.
Stay or go?
