I would find a car in a junk yard that isn't rusted there and remove the mount by drilling the spot welds out and weld them on yours. Hopefully the metal that the mount attaches to on your car is not rusted thru or else it will get quite a bit more complicated.
 
Yea it is for sure your old one. I'm glad to see it was kept up on the maintenance. The kid told me about his brother too and it had a dented fender and it was fixed by him. I couldn't believe I missed this when checking over and really can't believe he let me drive it over an hour home like that. As far as I can tell I have found a bad wheel bearing, the hole rear suspension/ sub frame is rotting terribly, the stock bov is leaking at just a few pounds, and one of the tranny cooler lines look like its leaking. Other than that it runs great.
 
Also thanks for everyone's ideas and replies. The passenger side was fixed before so I am just going to get the same thing done on drivers side.
 
Fixed! For now

Dented fender? Hmm...
Did they at least replace the passenger side rear lower control arm? I hope so, it was rusted in half. Here's my photobucket of the car if you're interested.
