I bought a 900 for cheap because of rust on the a-arm mount. Once I got it checked out, my fears were confirmed. It was fixable but would have been expensive and complicated. I dont know how badly yours has rusted, but I decided to junk the car. You have to decide how much your life is worth, really. I really liked that car, but think about what could happen if that a-arm mount actually broke through. The car would lose control if youre at speed, and you could easily ram into something, like oncoming traffic. I had a hard time just finding someone who would do this repair. Basically, all the body shops I called (four) said no way, they do do that. What you would have to do is find some kind of restoration shop, and they would have to have a professional welder fabricate a peice of steel to weld in the connecting all the components that are rusting apart. Even then, you are now trusting the skill of a welder (welds will break if not done properly) over the factory assembly. I just wouldnt trust it, my 2 cents...
