UFO & G60

[Patrick Anderson]

I don't think welding it up is an option. It is a stress fracture, and 
welding a stress fracture doesn't work too well. A patch on top/bottom that 
is welded on would work. My car has Koni/H&R's, tracked a few times, big 
brakes. No tear but the paint has cracked to indicate stress.
