Need help

can someone tell me what this is.
Its on a vw golf 3.
Ripped mine off with the bolts and i have no idea of how to bolt it back on

It's a brace. If you tore the captive nuts out then there's not a lot you can do short of welding on a new captive nut. If the captive nut is still there you could try tapping in slightly larger threads.

You could nigger rig it back on with like a T-bolt or something, but that's not going to have much useful clamping force for bracing. At that point, you might as well just leave it off.

thank you, english isnt my native language.
i have no idea whats still on there since i've never done anything like this and i havent inspected the damaged on the car yet.
here are some pics i took of the brace.
poor quality but its the best i can do atm.

now that i look at these i think i can see the captive nuts. fuck.

Wait, so the bolts are still in the car?

nope, everything got sheered off.
I think im gonna try to grind the heads of the bolts down a bit and just weld them on again.
>thats gonna be too much work, just leave it off.
I dont care, i have lots of time. Just need to know hoe to remove the carpet if i have to.

Oh, studs. Yeah, should be easy enough to weld back on. Lucky.

How much support do these braces give?
Will the car begin to sag over time?

By the look of it, I'm guessing it's there just to increase chassis stiffness. In this case, it would be subjected to sideways forces, either being pulled apart of pushed together, similar to a strut tower bar.

I don't see why there would be any sagging even if you left it out entirely. You probably wouldn't even notice that it's missing unless you're in to motorsports enough to notice that the chassis is very slightly less rigid without it.

Thank you, feel much calmer now.

>that exhaust

It's an exhaust comp-out.

Okay op, now green text what the fuck happened there

one greentext about how i fucked up coming right up

Think of it as ablative armor.

Kind of like the aftermarket lip that came on my car. It eventually tore off, but it died in the service of teaching me how to not scrape in a car with lower ground clearance than I was used to.

>vw golf 3
Those things sure are shit-hea..
>stanced

get fucked stance faggot

theres a difference between lowered and stanced
