Default 1984 Mustang svo font frame rail rust worth fixing?

i recently bought an svo the body i thought was in great shape but once i got it home i noticed the driver side front frame rail under the battery is pretty much rusted out. i would like to have it fixed but is it worth it, and if so what would be a ball park figure i will post pics tomorrow if i can.

No give it to ME lol. If I was you, I would try to restore it as much as possible. Although I'd be on a low budget so I would probably do most of the work myself. It won't be proffesional but it would be close enough. Other than that I don't know how much they could charge you for that.

If you do decide to part with the car (no, not PART the car), please contact someone (like at the SVOCA) that will fix the the car and keep it a running SVO on the road and not hacked or parted out.

the prob was the light would not go out but some contact cleaner and corr control did the trick. dumb ? can a relay stick in the on position the reason i ask is if i leave the batt hooked up i will be dead in the morning and the only thing i can think of is the constant from the start solenoid the draw ( if i am reading it right ) is .06 a min about or is that norm and i should look at the batt.
