I still have the car, but its been sitting in front of shed for years now. The rust is way worse without even seeing road, telling me it was gonna exponentially get worse even if i attempted repair. Sucks :(

Deff sucks man, I wish you were able to get it repaired and road worthy again, sometimes it is just not possible though, and I am sorry to hear that!

here some pix.. silver car was my replacement car. RIP, its no longer in my life. first car somehow outlived the replacement, 11 year newer car. 2001 aurora. I hate and love that thing so much. TOo bad it decided oil pressure was optional.
the wood thing was my on-property solution to the problem.. it is as its pictured now, just more rust on the door and faded engine bay

I just think they don't build cars like they used to, they had to have figured out the sooner they die, the sooner the customer will need another one...

She does not look that bad for her age, she has deff aged well, minus the rust ya mentioned..

I used to work in the assembly plant that made the Olds 88 and Park Ave. I was a paint repair man. Very advanced paint shop. Long time ago. Forgot most I learned about painting. LOL.
BTW I had a bad one of these bushings on my 91 Olds Toronado and tried to replace 2 of them, luckily got the bad one changed but the bolts are very long and nearly impossible to get out. I ended up snapping the head of the other one off. It'* rusted so strong to the sub frame that I've been driving it like that for years and it hasn't moved. both of these were the far rear bushings. very little rust on my sub frame and where it bolts to.

I bet a really good fabricator could fix it, but one would have to cut away all rust, then fab in all they cut out, would cost more than it is worth sadly.

Im trying to sell her.. but no one will give me more than 100 bucks for her and every single person is looking to scrap or derby it.

I cant do that.

I wish I knew a good fabricator, I'd work out a deal to get the main rusted parts structurally sound again, if I knew how I'd gladly help, I love seeing that passion for keeping something that has seen many miles around.
Hold it till you can figure something out, only let it go when you know it is all that can be done...
