I chisled, drilled and angle grinded the stud out. Abit of a mess now tbh.
Went mole vally and bought a welder to weld in a new bolt.
The welder is very shit. Havnt had much time to fiddle with the seetings on it as i had to go to work.
Hopefully will be magicly better when i attept it again.

There's lots of advice on the Mig Welding Forum, but a useful tip is to find some scrap metal of a similar size and thickness and practice on that before you do the car.

Made abit of a hash of getting the old bolt out but welded in a new plate and a new bolt. Doesnt look to bad i think.
And then i set about fixing the hole in the top which i cut for access to the bolt.
Will finished it up tomoro when the light returns.

I cant deside weather to have no bumpers on my mk1 or the plastic ones like its suposed to have.
And if i have no bumpers i can deside if i should smooth off the holes.

Ground all the rust off the rear beam and the brackets, painted them with hammerite, fitted the new anti roll bar and fitted the powerflex poly bushs to the beam and new wishbones
Not bad for a days work.
