i've recently noticed that my chassi is cracking. i've got a bit sad because i haven't ride the as much as i'd like to, and i miss hiting the road in my G.
this shows where's the crack, i think it goes a bit under the car
here's the passenger side (in your case, your drivers side) seems ok, but will weld some metal to
here is the opposite side, it has been welded by the previous owner, they call this a reinforced leg, for me it a shitty arc weld, this side will get square metal bars
well, my problem is that the mechanics/welders arround here in the south of Portugal only do some stitch weld and they call to theyr job a well reinforced chassi, and i call that a shitty job!
IMO the only guy that could do the job is a guy from lisbon, sergio from SEpoer, who only works with g40/g60 and knows what to be done.
my problem is that the car is not capable to travel to lisbon, so i talked with my uncle an he's been welding for more than 30 years, including a couple of rally cars.
i've searched in the forum and i found yoof chassi increase.
well, my car allways run standard, no mods have been made yet, but i'll do some in the future (sns chip, 65mm pulley, larger TB, gt inlet) but not too powerfull because it will be my daily ride.
i'll increase the strength the best that i can't to avoid the cracks in future. i'll do it using a mig welder and some round piece or bar to increase the welds.
once again, i'd like to know your oppinions about this and give me some advises to get the proper job done.
if possible, show me your chassi job and tell me where else to put more metal/weld to solve the problem once.
thnks a lot fr your time.
greetings
