What a shame, it doesn't look half as bad to my eye. This would be a great project for someone to learn how to weld.
Agreed, but there's a lot more to taking on a project like that than just the welding*. Transportation, space to store and work on it (and really, it has to be indoors, and somewhere that the building owners won't evict you when they catch you welding) and all the space for the interior, wheels, external trim, fuel tank, maybe even the rear subframe to go while the welding is done...

*And it's the fabrication of the repair patches and panels that eats up the time. There's not much you can buy off the shelf for an XM.

I'd still dearly love to hear it's being saved though.
