Need advice fixing rusted boddy

[hpmad]

Hello,

Well, The whole area under/around the battery is completely rusted...
The attachment for the from left torsion bar actually broke from the rust :-(
You can see (last picture) what was actually holding my wheel!

I have removed most of the paneling, but I have some questions... am in need of some advice (first time doing boddywork, but a good handy man)...

In the first picture, the circled area is quite rusted... But I can not find the part for it (at least not in europe)... What should I do? Cut around and try to rebuild with metal sheets?

In the 2nd picture, we can see that the seem to be an upper support to the torsion bar holder. However, the replacement panel I got seems different and seems to only have a lower reinforcement... should I try to find an upper reinforcement part and weld it? any part number you can suggest?

Picture 3 are the parts that I got. I am missing something?

Any advice welcome!

Thanks,
Cyrille

Restoration Design has both parts you're missing. The one in the second photo is a reinforcement bracket that they include with their front pan; you can probably order it individually. The one in the first photo I believe they call "gas tank lateral support" though you might be able to just patch yours, which is what I did in a similar situation.
