Trailing arm bracket rust - separated from body

[moses]

I had to remove the rear crossmember to repair the lower trailing arm mounts on my spider. The rust was not visible from under the car until the undercoating was scrapped away.

These pics were extremely helpful. I've got a good idea of where to start now.

Do any vendors sell the rear crossmember? The floor pans are faily easy to fab, but not sure about the crossmember.
