Alfa 33 Cracks in Chassis

Here's a problem Alfa 33. Poorly repaired chassis cracking may render this vehicle a write-off. Your thoughts? See below.

Left Side

The left (inside wheel arch) has just been welded, with little attempt to close all the cracks (or more cracks appeared later).

The left side (engine bay) has two welded in steel plates that are way too thick.

The left side has cracking starting from the top of the engine bay too. This shot is very close to the hood brace.

Not shown is some cracking behind the headlight on the left.

Right Side

The right side has a poorly welded crack just behind the cross-member bolt holes.

The outside (wheel well) has cracks that have not been repaired, or the cracks appeared after the previous repair.

Like the other side, a crack has appreared on the right side at the top.

Not shown is another steel plate on the inside right side - again too thick and poorly welded.
