    1972 911T front cross member / suspension welding

    I've just bought a 1972 911T and after inspecting the front cross member more closely and pulling off some underseal, I discovered rust around the suspension bolt points on both sides of the pan. The passenger side is considerably worse than the drivers side, which is a bit soft.
    There doesn't seem to be any significant rust anywhere else on the car.

    How difficult is this to repair - does it need a whole new subframe, or are there good welders out there who can fix this one? What kind of $ could this run to?

    Does anyone recommend a good welder in the SF Bay Area, CA?
