Yep good advice. I'm not going to fill it all the way up but I'll definitely keep an eye on it. It's good to be around industrial area sometimes. You can find small mom-and-pop shops like this one that just want to help somebody out. I also got a quote for 180 from one of the bigger shops.

Now that is repaired by the weld shop you might consider adding some backup. Get some of that JB water weld and cover the entire area. Can't hurt and might give it some additional structure. Just an extra 30mins and 10 bucks.....
