The car is rust free CA car so it is worth fixing.
I was thinking about welding it back and mickey mouse the job until I saw a crank shaft for sale on eBay for cheap.

Why not do "the best" job?
Fix it once.
Fix it right.
Drive More.
Worry less.
This isn't sarcasm... I honestly want to understand the logic.
