Needs a new cross member they said, plus a few other bits. Ok, says I, crack on.

This was the bar they took out :eek::eek::eek::eek:

There's also evidence on it of a previous weld - repair from a front end collision.

That's mental. Glad you're getting it sorted though.

Is this going to cost you a pretty penny?

Lunchy that looks so bad so is that caused by salt on the icy roads (unsure if they still do that ) and how is the rest of the chassis ?

Hope you and the wifelet get lucky and land a new jobs soon.
 
The rear was rebuilt a few years ago and the front (the rest of it) is fine.
 
Do you? Unless I get advice from mot tester or my mechanics, no that's not something I go looking at. Being under the car and concealed....
