Default leaf spring front mount broke

ok the mount that the front of my leaf spring bolts to on the drivers side is well broke, bent and rusted.it looks as if someone tried to reinforce it at on time with some plates...both dr and pass side has the plates...here are some pics to show it better...the spring has came through the floorboard....

Damn, that looks bad. I hate rust, good luck with a new fab, i'd take care of the inside first. Maybe take all the carpet out and fix all the rust first?

1) how bad is the sub frame?
2) these from poly performace should help to fix it. I would add at least an 1/8 plate to the inside then blot these up
