Asked yesterday, and he told me that he welded a piece of metal sheet indeed
He also needed to weld a (smaller) piece from the right side as well, as he said (where I thought that the rust had just started so there, welding would no be needed)
The whole area will be sealed as he told me, before and after putting back the front windshield

Now waiting to take the car back!! (oh, and a bit different look as well-wait and see :smoke )

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Ok, I kinda like the "mean" look that these headlights result to, at least at the moment
I believe it's going to do a "circle" through me, at some point decide that a more "factory" look is what suits best the car and then replace the smokeys by smillies or even its very own E21 singles
