Looking good man. I've been giving mine a dodge at the moment as my bootlid has been giving me some headache but I think I have found a way to remedy my problems so should hopefully have some updates soon :)
Keep up the good work Jonny.

hmmm not sure what type of MOT this will have after, or if its got to have a full 'IVA'
but welded / heat effected parts on the suspension is a big NO NO ! as heating/welding in this fashion effects the stability and hardness of the metal structure
which can cause easy fracturing and weak spots .....
so either hide it with paint, or risk getting it failed/advised i know if i was testing this i would at the VERY LEAST advise it !

has to be judged on its merits etc ... welds half way along a supporting beam causes stress points
plus 'mig' welding is a bit different than properly fabricated arms/hubs, that are often properly treated AFTER they are welded.
and with industrial high powered welders that get full penetration.
proper structural joints are 'filled' to get a thorough penetration for eg (warning harsh text pics) =====\O/==== and not
o
===|====== sitting on top,
im sure we could argue the toss, but does depend on how its getting MOT and where, and what person is MOT'in and if he even notices of course !
I personally would pass and advise this type of 'repair'...
if this did for example fracture, would you just weld it again, or if a bottom arm on a fiesta fractured would you weld that up, how about a spring?
orrr lets say a engine mount bracket that had fractured,?

An inappropriate repair or modification includes welded repairs or the use of excessive heat to highly stressed components (see Appendix C)
and modifications which are likely to affect the road worthiness of the vehicle.
from appendix C
Welded repairs to highly stressed components such as steering/suspension arms, rods, levers etc are not normally acceptable, other than where the component is made up of sections that are welded together.
In these cases the repair should appear to be as strong as the original design

you would be surprised by the stuff MOT testers see sadly ...
its just hard to see how a weld is welded if not seen the prep work etc involved, you can only asses what you see ...
and im glad you pointed-out/noted cast welding is an even bigger no no ! ..

What did you do to solve it?
