Default Advice ?? I think i need a Cross Member !



Ever since i have had the escos it looks like there is a part missing !

As i am currently re-building the escos i think it maye be best to get another cross member

What are your thoughts...

Someone has probably tried to jack the car up under it at some time. Looks like a piece has broken off.

i would say that is fixable. I had similar damage in the middle of it from previous owner using the car as recce car without sump-guard and I had this welded up by aluminium eingineering ocmpany and they had wedled some streghening to it in some other spots when doing that. Looks almost factory as well.
