Fuse boxes are not supposed to get really warm. Heat is a byproduct of current draw - so you have at least one circuit that is drawing more than it was intended too. You need to find out which one that is.
The old fuse box is repairable if you have soldering skills.

Can't determine which circuit is drawing too much without being there. Touch each relay and see if one of them is the source of the heat. If so then you know which circuit the problem is on.
I would guess the fuel pump circuit would be the culprit since it cooked one relay already.

Just a question Is the fuse box getting very warm while your driving or is it getting very warm when the expy is shut off

How many miles on the expy? When did you last change the fuel filter?

Maybe the previous owner knew something that you didn't know
My suggestion would be to replace both the fuel pump and filter before you loose another fuse box
