how did you crack it. i have one but im in portland and not for free

[ttrousdell]

JB weld it if the crack is not wide. Ive never been a fan of half ass fixes on my car but the stuff works well until you get a good pan.

Skid plate homie.

[e30josh]

buy a used pan, and a new skidplate.

[Dirtsquirt]

I've got a pan for you, $80?

[Plan:B]

This may sound a little off. My friend works at a shop and told me he could weld up my pan wile on the car. Can this be done?

BTW, I have a lead on a skid plate!

Absolutely not. Not a good weld at least. You have to have it 100% free of any contamination before you weld, or it won't take.

He mentioned cleaning the damaged spot, putting a patch over it and welding around the patch.

But you can't clean it 100% unless the pan is off the car.

[Plan:B]

Ha ha ha, so I just found time to take a look at the problem.

Enjoy.

Yes, get it on. It does not take much of a hit for you to be down.
