looks like a small crack..

btw, what car is that?
 
Are you sure that is the chassis crack? Sometimes, the crack could be body filler crack.

Body/chassis crack would be more serious....but can be welded back. if it the crack is extensive (meaning more crack underneath) then the panels need to be removed and repaired properly.

Cracking could be due to "whacking" of the car....
 
better going to welding before extension length of crack...if not, ur car in future hard to doing any document changing...like puspakom inspection
 
It can be sent for re-weld and secure the minor crack and to avoid the crack to extend :) .. must do A.S.A.P

May I know what is difference between chassis & body filler?

My car is proton waja. Could it can be repair at normal car body workshop or is there any specialist that do this kind of repair?
 
metal fatigue....

all old cars (more than 5years would start building p cracks)

Body filler are clay-like fill used for covering body surface imperfection after body repair. The malay call it simen. The simen can crack, if it is used too thick.....

Check properly at the crack, and see if it is metal crack or body filler crack...

yes..thats rite..if body crack must weld quickly...
 
if your car is old, maybe the rust accumulated from the water containment...anyway it looks like rust n crack on the surface of yr wheel-house joint...
