Default I have a 1989 Mustang LX frame issue.
Recently i have got my first mustang and im really wanting to trasform it but there is only one problem im concerned with. When I brought it home i was inspecting the frame. I took off the front drivers side wheel and saw there was about an inch hole through the frame. This was in front of the shocks toward the front of the car and the hole was due to rust. Ive been thinking about just filling in the hole then bracing it but im not that creative. Anybody know what i should do?

Welcome to the site. I would get rid of all of the rust in the hole. Make it a little bigger and run a piece of steel tubing through it. Weld it up and cap it off if you like. Don't forget to spray it with primer and rubberized undercoating so that it don't rust again.
