I would find out if the chassis has been damaged at all. If not, it sounds like a relatively simple repair, but I would want some reassurance that it will not recrack with time or vibration.

If Aston uses similar chassis techniques as the Lotus Elise (aluminum chassis bonded together with epoxy), then the chassis cannot usually be repaired. This may be the case, as Lotus engineering was involved in the unibody/frames.
