The only reasonably priced way - is to do it yourself! Exactly what does it need? I do suggest that you survey the whole car very very carefully before starting any work on it - so you know the extent of what is required and how much it will cost.

Sorry to hear that,but its one of the problems with a minor in that If you need to pay someone to rebuild it,bodily,then it can cost 3 times more than the car is worth at the end.The only way is to learn to weld and do it yourself.But depends on how much work,photos and a list may help.
