Hey guys, I've been back to work on my floorpans (finally) and got the subframe brace off the passenger side floor. Just as I suspected there was lots of rust underneath the subframe brace (see pics).
My question is do you think this pitting is bad enough to warrant replacing the brace? I've been planning on re-using it but I had to grind off about 1/32" of flaking rust and pits just to get this far. Should I just sanblast it, hit it with some weldthrough primer and re-use it or replace it with a repop? The replacement part is about $50, but that is $50 I don't have to spare (not currently employed!).
