Not nearly as hard of a job as I thought it would be. It took us about 5 hours, which is not too bad.
For those who don't know why I did it, the day I checked out the car to be sure I wanted to buy it, the guy left my house to go pick up his girlfriend. On the way there, he hit a large rock in the road. The rock hit and dented the front of the pan, then rolled under and tore the 2" x 3" long hole you see here. He knocked $400 off the price of the car for parts and labor to get it fixed, but it would have come to about $580 to get it fixed by my mechanic friend, so I decided to get NitroRustlerDriver and another friend to help, and we did it ourselves.
I did a write-up on the whole procedure, it will be found in the Tech Section of R3V in a day or so, and on a few other sites.
Here are the pics of the fucked oilpan. What you are about to see may disturb you...
