Yea I will take it to a shop tomorrow. Hope they don't charge much....they shouldn't charge at all!
but the rivets to the right of that arch are also snapped, so they'll have to take care of those as well. But we might be able to get away with just welding those two spots on the end I'm not sure.
Also, this_tsi_8urV8, I used a lot of elbow grease! Lol! The top of the cover had a lot of oil on it and the bottom was completely black and brown, stained or burned with oil. I used simple green in the spray bottle (the foaming kind) and scrubbed the hell out of it with a tire brush...the kind that has soft gray bristles and hard blue bristles on the end. Then I rinsed it with warm water in the bathtub. Then repeat....did that for a little over an hour and the damn thing looks brand new!
