You can buy new tower pieces to weld in, or cut them off a junkyard car and put them on. That way at least you have the right shape and thickness to begin with.
depends, are you a certified welder? If not i would think twice about it because "ugly but it'll hold", will not work here...anywho here is my repair that i did. scroll to the bottom to see the patch ( it was just tacked in that picture btw) http://www.grandprixforums.net/ruste...ics-68496.html
My struts are starting to go threw the tower and the back of my car is getting really low
But where can I buy replaceable ones?
Your option is weld in new metal or junk the car.
They don't make replacement panels or anything like that.
The rear strut tower is part of the body itself.
Well I can't just get rid of my car
Its a need right now
But imma weld a new one in or atleast try to
This sounds like my car along with nothing left of the rocker panels and a hole through the passenger side floor. Just drive it till the wheels fall off.
Did you look at the link I gave you? It's a good fix for the problem you are having. If you have some fabrication skills its fairly easy, just time consuming.
Take a few pics and I can help you out...
I've replaced my towers in my Regal a few years ago. I ended up fabricating the towers out of sheet metal then welding them in. It took a day per side of the car. I pulled the rear seats, package tray, rear struts, and everything in the trunk.
You might want to find a donor car at the junkyard to get the towers out of.
Then undercoat the crap out of the towers.
you can buy the tower from GM
its 585$ its a crash panel so you get the tower and whole rear inner quarter apron.
