New wedge owner

350i need some help!

I have just purchased a red 350i c reg
needs some welding on outer chassis sections which is ok.
More alarming is the stress crack in the chassis near the front near side suspension,is this common.
Not my first choice but i have fallen in love.
Any help/advice would be greatfully received.

I have been trying to find some info on TVR chassis stress fractures but cant seem to find any which would suggest its not a common thing..Would anyone else know of it?....

Hi

My S2 had a few stress cracks it even had one of the cross braces above the gearbox come lose due to stress cracks. We had to remove the back end, fuel tanks etc to get to it (Easier than a body lift) then it was rewelded and any stress cracks repaired. Plus new outriggers etc

Mine had a crack near the very front in the middle of the offside tube that angles down at about 45 degrees
