As long as there is good metal to weld a new section of chassis rail to, there shouldn't be any reason why it can't be repaired. I've no idea on cost though. I had a Nissan 280ZX some years ago that we had to do that to and it passed the MOT fine afterwards. Probably best to get a couple of quotes done by some reputable local car repairers.

Hope this helps.
