When I bought my car the PO replaced the front aprons on the passenger side but did not weld them in. They have holes every couple of inches like the original panels that were removed. I have the drivers side also in place now for rough fitting and they seem to be located well. My question as I'm not a welder but will be looking for someone to come and do this for me: is it better to spot weld like the passenger side or can you do an overlap weld on the backside? It looks like they can be welded on the backside out of sight onto the shock tower and radiator support. Or should I also make the holes on the drivers side to match. I would think grinding down all these spot welds will take a while and some are tight spaces. Also if I do some prep and grind the finish off before the welding, can I prime it with weld through primer after I make these holes? I can then go back after the welding to finish it off. Thanks.
