Cracked Hull, Please help

Hi everyone, was cleaning the front yard yesterday whilst having a chat when we noticed a crack probably the size of 10cm. Im not sure it's cruicial but just having a crack makes me weary. If anyone know's a good person that fixes these types of cracks let me know. Hope it's not expensive as my navara is setting me back $1300 and that's only because we are paying cash i was quoted $1800



Ive added a few piccies to show



Thanks for any advice

Reason

Depends on what caused the crack.

Somtimes they can just grind it out and weld it up or stick a small plate over it.

Give preston craft in wangarra a call they should be able to weld it up for you.  Otherwise try Ace trailers in wangarra as well.. PLenty of Aluminium guys around thgat area. Start with preston and if he can't help I sure they can recomend someong...
