Frame looks good - usual surface corosion but no holes. There is a spacer on your spring mount bolt that someone has put there to change the rear ride height - the rear spring may be sagging, so they used a spacer to raise the rear.

That broken tire carrier looks like it's from a tow. Happened to mine when I had a rear wheel bearing go south and had the car towed home. (prior to sliding bed tow trucks) That was one of my first fiberglass repair projects. The damage looked just the same.

I have an extra tub that is better than that one, Not perfect, but cheap. The V-strap took more hits than the tub, so I have separated them. Got NOS pieces off of ebay for my car, but I'm not sure that I can use them either. Fairly steep driveway.
