Does anyone know of a reputable auto body shop or welder that will fix 2 rusted out rear strut towers on a 98 gt? I'm located in Warren county NJ and will drive a reasonable amount to have this fixed as I need this done asap. Thanks for any help!

I'd prefer to have it done, as I've never welded anything before, and wouldn't know where to begin. This is my daily driver, and need this fixed as soon as possible. I'll pay to have it done, unless someone here wants the car for parts. It's a shame because the rest of the car is immaculate.

just that one side looks bad. If you go buy a cheap welder you can do it yourself.

passenger side just sand blast it, prime paint. driver side aint bad at all, cut that section out, sand blast, re weld/reblast and paint. I did both mine, complete replace driver side, patch passenger. Brother is a welder so labor was free (i bought him a gift anyway). Craigslist is the only thing I can think of for welders in short time, but they are by the hour and experience without blowing holes in your metal and having a actual bead that penetrates the metal (weld should be stronger than the metal its bonding) wont be cheap. IMO if you can find one for $40hr is a dam steal, but ur talking half a day if you remove the parts.
