My project just failed it's test. One of the things was the "front (chassis outrigger) suspension component mounting prescribed area is inadequately repaired"

he said that the repair from a prevvious owner wasn't seam welded. I don't know which bit he is referring too, there looks like a strengthining plate has been put on the chassis leg just where the control arm leaves, is this it?

thanks, that's the bit i though he was talking about.

what a pain, I can't weld so not sure if it's worth it to get the car welded up......I'll have a think over the weekend.

he should have showed you and marked the part. we usually charge 50quid per plate or area we weld if thats any help
