    Structural damage?

    Was getting deeper into my new 8, replacing the front air dam and saw this...
    I know it was involed in a front end crash at some point. So, how much of an issue is this? Can I reweld or has the structural integrity been compromised?

    Should be able to weld it back. If the frame horn is bent, it would need to be bent back to Spec.

    That's a relief, thanks.
