There's no other evidence of accident damage. I believe this is from hitting a pothole and bottoming out as there is also the usual crack in the sound deadening above the control arms too. I've seen another one pull the brace bracket off the chassis leg from the same sort of event.
The tig guy is going to re-melt the weld to fill in the crack and I'm hoping the welding won't melt too much of the paint. Vera went out for a pelican blue aerosol this afternoon so I'm hoping to be able to make it look reasonable afterwards. The weld itself is hidden but some of the paintwork won't be.
