Hi all, my front headlamp mounting panel needed the spot welds drilled out so the panel could be repaired and replaced. Can anyone recommend a good mobile welder or bodyshop near Gatwick area?

Or, would the weld be simple enough (noting that the spots have been completely drilled out through both panel and chassis) that it's pro worth buying a welder and doing myself?
Thanks
 
You haven't said what car you have and without that detail and a picture it's difficult to imagine the problem.
Most Defenders front wings are alluminium which will require a TiG welder (look it up).

It would probably be easier to pop rivet the panel back together ?

Welcome to the forum BTW

Thanks miktdish, good point. Defender 90 2.5tdi 94' - Ali. Tig seems to be thr better option when looking into to it earlier. Thought about pop rivet with some panel bound but could see it behind the bumper so thought it best to spot weld again.
