I'm about to do the same. My fiesta has been sat in a garage for almost 2 years waiting for someone to sort the welding and it's not happened. Since I've now got a fair bit of time on my hands i'm going to get it back and do it myself. I'm not the best welder but i'm willing to have a go and learn. Plus I've got a couple of mates that can help out if I really need it.
