i just got spoon upper control arm gussets welded in and the welder got carried away
i just got spoon upper control arm gussets welded in and the welder got carried away up top in the engine bay ,
theres about 3 or 4 small pin holes that broke through the engine bay ,i covered them with primer so you cant really so the extant of the bad welds , i plan on putting 275 square on this car with hoosiers and tracking it with ohlins . when he called to let me know the car was ready he acted really "funny" and nervous on the phone , kept acting like he was trying to dance around an issue kept me on the phone for 7 mintues and tried to up sell me on a strut bar should i be worried about this and demand my money back or demand he pay to have an auto body fix this or is this area " non structural" and nothing to worry about you can see the small pin holes where the welds broke through on the pictures below https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...46540f8359.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...91e569bec9.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...8698639bf1.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...5aed6b820f.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...3ebd2a5f2d.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...58edb69d2b.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...343a80a9da.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...a20d3ddcd3.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...35636b2e0a.jpg |
seems like you're fine with it since you already covered it up.
i dunno if there will be problems in the future because of this, i wouldn't think so. |
Fill it with some oem style seam sealer/silicon and call it good. My feeling is its fine structurally.

how structural is that area any way ? |
It appears it is over-welded, some cosmetic burn off but other than that it should be plenty strong.

while not perfect I don't think there will be any flexing going on in that location to cause the cracks to expand. Maybe grind out the thin stuff with a dremmel, and fill in the gap with a bit of JB Weld and paint and call it a day. The lower area looks plenty strong.
