Below are a couple pics of the spider cracks I just discovered in my driver's side long. I gather the strategy is to drill at the ends of the cracks and then weld the new hole and the rest of the crack. But mine seems to be worse than the ones I've seen posted here.
Think mine is fixable? Should I weld on a small plate over the fix to add some rigidity? Wasn't planning on a reinfocing kit, since this car is 99% for street, but maybe that's a sesible move anyway? Attached image(s) |
