i was over at the welders having a look at the motor today and the work he is doing is top class. got a new scuttle panel on and you wouldn't even know its new on only that its not painted got my drivers side sill built up and the footwell is getting cut out and replaced at the mo. i'm going to try to get some pics for next week and throw them up for you.

fordy 007. when i got the car it had a brand new battery tray silicone sealed over the hole where the old one was so i just had to take it off to do the welding. but i think you are just going to have to cut it out and weld a new one in. hope that is of some help to you.
