Cracked Hull, Please help
Submitted by Just1morecast on Thu, 2010-04-22 13:11
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.
