I would only weld plates onto a car with the mounts torn away. Small cracks I would just repair weld.
The pulled spot welds on my wheel well seam were drilled out and replaced with rivets. Then I addressed the load path so it wouldn't happen again.
So what would you recommend I do here? I don't see anything when looking. I have this kit ordered, but I'm not looking forward to welding this at all. Right now I'm tempted to simply do nothing. I don't track this car often, but now it'll bother me more than it did if/when I do.
