Stabilizer HELP!

1986 951 -
Bought this 951 a week ago....
While under the the front end today I discoverd that the passender side stabilizer mounting point at the frame is gone!

Please see attached pictures. How do I fix this?

Besides this, the passenger side underside looks alright (no major evidence of an accident). Is this a known weak point?

Thoughts?

it doesn't take much to bend these frames. The frame itself is made of thin metal which bends pretty easily if the car were to hit another car or a tree below 10 mph

Here are a couple of more pictures that show whats left of the frame material. I can almost pull the original mounting bracket through the hole....

Nice "how to" by 944V8in DFW!
