Ouch...sucks, but I wouldnt be too bummed. Just get some metal to reinforce it and weld it on and it will be good as new. Ive seen those on older cars start to break out before. By the way, your engine bay looks 1000 times better with your current setup then the single cam deal with red engine bay

 

thanks

i'll have some more recent pictures up soon.

 

weld that biotch back together and be good to go.

 

Yeah, as far as broken **** goes that isn't bad. You might want to swing by a bodyshop and get chassis measurements so you can make sure nothing's bent out of alignment before you weld, but I don't think it will be.

Your biggest problem fixing that will be removing enough undercoating and filth to get a good bead.

 

i would say that someone has been working on it in the past, probably a collision. that will be no problem to fix.take a measurement between the lower control arm bolts on a crx/civic that has not been wrecked and make sure you have the same measurement on yours before welding.

 

thanks for the replys, glad to hear that it is fixable.

 

all fixed.. pictures up soon, cost me 650$ CDN, plus 80$ towing
