Folks need advice

am trying to rebuild GENE my beloved Bug ok shes a 1303 but dont hold it against her 馃榾

i have had to rebuild the drivers side heater channel surround as some "person" left the car with a knackerd window seal. resulting in a new floor, running board fixing plates and lower plate. the question i have is.......

the heater channel plate has two holes in the top where it should go into the body fixing, as it is welded the best part the length of the sides, and the back, can i nick this off ? and just weld the bugger on ?!?!?

Also whats the easiest way to weld the 2 lips together plug weld? angle grid a bit of the lip off and weld then?馃榾
