While underneath my '82 244 GLT trying to diagnose a starter problem, I noticed a huge hole rusted through in the area where the feet of the rear passenger on the left side would be (odd that I never noticed it before). It's about 12 inches wide and 10 inches long. My question is, being that this hole is in a location between the two axles, should I consider this to be a terminal condition for the car? The car already has too many things to fix, including the blower motor for the heater (I REALLY don't want to do that one), so I believe it's time to get rid of it anyways. I just want to know if this condition can be repaired while maintaining structural integrity, should I ever happen upon it again.

Terminal - I would say yes. Think about the life (lack of) of the more serious items like the control arms ...
