<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi guys,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the chassis is stripped bare, only the rear axle casing is left in case it
<DIV></DIV>&gt;will be needed to give support when bending the crossmember.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;The two pictures show what needs to be done. The corner seems straight
<DIV></DIV>&gt;forward. The tow bar mounting points however have been pulled out, at least
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the top ones. The ones of you who have experienced similar conditions, what
<DIV></DIV>&gt;is the best way to repair these?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Cutting the connecting tubes out, inserting a new panel and new tubes seems
<DIV></DIV>&gt;quite a job. Specially as access from the front is less than brilliant, even
<DIV></DIV>&gt;if removing the tub support bars. But pushing them back will be even more of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a pain. And seeing that the cracks are quite rusty welding is going to be a
<DIV></DIV>&gt;problem.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;All your advice is welcome.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Should the link be cut in half, the pictures are in the garage under
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"Ulrico's 80 inch project"
