Guys a really bad thing happened... I was with three friends and we were driving through a bad stretch of road. A big piece of stone (granite) was lying ahead on the road and i failed to notice it in the night :evil: Luckily it didn't damage the sump or tear the fuel tank. But the stone struck the underbody, the car literally jumped on the stone, there's a huge bump under and ahead of the driver's seat and just in front of the rear seat (rear passenger leg area).

Body shop guys hammered the floor back into place (a temporary measure) and under the drivers seat there's a small tear on the metal floor :(

I have to get the underbody done to perfection, but it's only possible after couple of months. Should i worry mates, regarding the strucutural integrity of the whole monococque/body? Regular mech says not to worry.

Nothing else to worry, right? Thanks mate.

I was thinking the damage would've fucked up my car's chasis/monococque/unibody whatever...
