Aside from this one...

The weld on the hinge looks incredibly bad. I'm a newb when it comes to welding but I think even my worst weld is better than that.

So today I didn't do much but I marked the spot welds (in purple) to drill them out I also bought a 00 radiator support online and its f*cking weak I didn't find any rad supports at the junkyard the were all bent so I was thinking on just using the upper rad support and keep the bottom oem support the spot welds are so u can take it all out I'm not going to drill all of the weld spots since I'm only take off the top support
