BUT! I would hate to know my car has a huge gaping hole on one of the most important spots on the car.

NM91,
I had just bought the car with 132K on it from a Nissan dealer when I was poking around and saw the bubbles under the support's paint. I tried to return the car because I saw it as a safety issue. The service manager assured me that it was not a major structural member, and he had seen a lot worse. Right! It only holds the engine up. Anyway, it would have hurt my pride worse to put $700+ into a 12 year old car that I just drove off the lot, than to drive it with a hidden hole. As long as the rusting is stopped, the engine is supported, and no one can see it, I can live with it. I also found and repaired rust under the a rear mud flap from leaky sunroof and power antenna drains. I used a fiberglass patch and it is completely hidden by the mud flap. Other than that, it's in great shape inside and out and a pleasure to drive. Bassbreaker, I liked your idea. I wish I could weld. Justock
