I couldn't help but notice my lower rad support is attached only by a little more than luck on the sides where it meets the rest of the body.

I assume this is the result of years of stick shift abuse and I'd like to see how this has been repaired by others. Please mention the thickness of metals used. I have a mig welder and I'm pretty handy with it. The car is acting like the front mount is wiped out, but it's the whole lower rad support moving.
