hope you have a welder and some way of cleaning the suface of the area to be welded

that bracket has to go onto the body of the car on the RH side.

and from the looks of it, some of it has rusted into oblivion!

i have a welder and am planning on finding a bracket in better condition from a wrecker. still have to see what the other half looks like.

You'll find some ripped spot welds? Should be obvious where it has to go.
