Not sure what was going on here, it was the same on both sides of the frame, may of been clearance issues for USDs at some point. I welded up the holes and pulled the steel back into shape before powder coat

Alloy parts stripped and prepped, I decided to give Harry Overton a go with these, Glad I did, top job for a fair price. Also great communication and progress pics. He's passionate about his job. Polishing is a small part of what he does, He does engine prep and paint, alloy welding, clever lad, highly recommended.
