THE WELDING IS DONE! 
Progress is going to be thick and fast on this now its solid enough for me to really jack it up and get cracking with refurbishment.
Piccys: Please do remember that this guy is doing it on the cheap for me on his back in a confined space on a car thats only just off the floor on halfords axle stands!

There is a 3mm thick strenghening plate in there for the jacking point as i despise the look of factory jacking points that hang down and bend when you use them which cracks the seam sealer thus leading to the root cause of my rust issues in the first place!
