How best to reweld the body.

I have a problem and figure it is a sort of motorsport type problem.

The rear drivers (right hand drive) side of the back strut panel has come un welded from the body of the car see attached photos. Not sure how well you can see the images but a number of the spot welds have broken.


The big question what is the best way to repair it, what type of welder etc.

My best guess is I will keep it for a further 200,000 so I would expect its worth strengthening it a bit at the same time as I fix it. Considering the beating it has had over the years I am surpriesed it didn't happen sooner.
