So I just recently installed strut assemblies at all four corners. In the process of doing so, I found an unwelcome surprise waiting for me. The dreaded strut tower rust has finally come for me. A pic of what my driver side rear looks like is below. The passenger side rear is still clean. I have been reading a lot about this online. It seems as though a wood block is the most cost effective solution. The use of the word solution here is a loose translation.

How long is that actually going to buy me before the car becomes a safety liability? Is there anywhere around here that would try their hand at fixing it without seriously depleting my bank account?

That's really not that bad, there are FAR worse cars out there likely driving right next to you. The labor involved in properly "fixing" that would probably empty your wallet, I doubt it would be worth having it done. A wooden block fix with some POR15 before it would buy you plenty of time though.
