Never say die. The body portion between the a-arm rusted out on mine, but fortunately not the mounts. I welded a new plate spanning the gap and fitted it for the mounts and bolts. Fussy and difficult but worth it. I'd at least investigate local body shops as RS suggests.
Someone a while back posted a DIY with pics showing how to weld repair the damage when it destroys the mount. Maybe slog through the search hits on "frame".
It's not necessarily batt. acid that causes this. That area is a bathtub and in high road salt areas the mixture just sits there and corrosion is accelerated by the downpipe and exh. man. heat.
