depends where... if its up by the airvent the you'll probably get away with it..

Anywhere with a foot of a subframe mount, sill or suspension mount then nope, should be welded...

You could, BUT just because you've coved over the problem doesn’t always mean it will go away, instead it will get worse and you'll end up having to do further repairs.

I know as I found out the whole of my drives side flinch panel was just filler.
