hey goldstar
ya know if i could get hold of an impact chisel to remove the entire front end at where it's originally spot welded and then a spot welder to refit a new section back on, would that work?
accordin to what i can best guess, r these points arrowed where it'll b spot welded? correct me or the pic if i missed out summin.
i also wanted to replace those L-flanges at the ends (circled in pic) that the sidewings r bolted onto cos mines broke/deformed due to seized bolt. so basically i'm replacing the entire front end.
if its true that i could spot weld it, then this should theoretically be an easy peasy "peel off n tack on" swap compared to other options 
just hav to track down a spot weld to hire..
ohh yess
i found HSS Hire has a spot welder and an electric chipping hammer @ total £68 for a weekend
:grinning:
startin to sound like a cunning plan
