Cutting out and welding in new front jacking point

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

So I have cut off my front passenger side wheel arch and as expected the lower b post needs repairing which is fine. The jacking stiffener behind the b post is in really good shape so just need to replace the crunchy jacking point. I note it is seam welded at the front to the sill and seam welded to the front outrigger. Just wondering how you tackle cutting it out and welding the new one in. Any tips?
