I recently got my Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Gst looked at and underneath and its pretty rusted but the main problem was the frame and control arms.
The frame is cracked badly and rusted. The control rear control arm on the driver's side rusted so bad and fell off. The rear control arm on the passenger's side looks like it is getting to that stage as well.
Was wondering if there would be any tips on how to fix this or even if it would be worth it or not. Any advice is wanted. Thanks for reading.

Depending on the rest of the car, that would be a parts car or sell it to a junkyard/scrap yard. Extremely unsafe to drive and probably would cost more money to fix than its worth.
I took it to a shop and they said my best option would be to keep the engine and find an empty body in better condition. Thank you for your reply.
 
This is called a 'parts car.' The money to fix it would buy several cars in sound condition. Or one with enough to make it darn near perfect plus plenty of money for gas.
