I took photos when i did mine, give me an hour or so to have my dinner and I will post a step by step guide for you, they are 90% spot welded so pretty simple tack welds are all that is required really.

mine failed mot on wheel arches..

they fail it if they can flex the arches at the top end near where the door closes..

the connection to the rear quarter is steel to alloy and corrodes..

i welded a piece of metal to the arch and pop riveted it to the c post, this stopped it flexing and i got a pass the next mornin..

I thought they fail because of rust being too close to seatbelt mount.
