Default vega gen 2 chassis repair

Thought I would share this with everyone Mine is a very early gen 2 vega and the front kickup on the chassis started to split and had a hairline crack right along the bottom ( wasnt totally snapped off but would have eventually ) I found a way to fix the problem and is an easier option then tig welding, it also can be done at a very reasonable cost and the "weld" is a hell of a lot stronger than aluminium, about 3 times stronger than the chassis itself

I built it up on the inside purely for extra strength, but I could make it flatter and still would be stronger than the chassis itself...if anyone has suffered this and needs a reasonable fix feel free to pm me
