    Steel and welding. :D Seriously though you won’t know until you get the gl*** out and the paint off. Some metal, a mig welder and a shrinker stretcher maybe a small cheap sheet metal brake. Some hammers and dollies should be all you need. Except for the welder Harbor Freight tools should be more than adequate.
     
  2. Ok that's a strong point FOR the car. Trust me

    I would be very concerned with the pin holes of rust near the bottom of the body. Those may indicate a large amount of very thin metal to work with when trying to fix. That would most likely entail cutting and large patch panels. I could be wrong, but it could be a can of worms...
