this time behind the windscreen washer bottle under the offside headlight, the washer bottle mounting bolts can be seen in the white section in the top of the picture,

if you have never taken out the water bottle , this could be what is waiting for you , i was gob-smacked when i saw it, but see how good the metal is behind the holes in the subframe, all they needed to do was put a little corrosion protection in there....

offered up for test fitting prior to tack welding ,

then fully welded , as it forms part of the inner arch, but not fully structural , also spot welded the edges i could get to

then the welds were sealed with flexable joint sealer ( that will never fully set ) and then coverd in underseal , forgot to say , high zinc content paint was leberally aplied to the repair as well,
