Jacking point/sills repair?



  Clio 172 Track Car
My rear jacking points have folded under and are in pretty dire state, I wonder if they'll even pass the next MOT.
Whats the typical repair look like here? Cut out and weld in new ones?

Try to bend it back with hammers and mole grips if you can, then wirebrush them and spray with anti rust spray. Got any pics?

Well, if I''m honest, I'd say its collapsed more than bent to be honest, I certainly would use it for jacking anymore.
 
Bend it back out, wire brush it and spray with stone chip. I got little bits of stainless box section and bolted them on to give some strength, then covered that with stone chip too, been jacked up countless times since and nothing has budged

Thats a decent idea, I'll take another look and see if what I have is salvage-able like that, cheers for the pic. Much appreciated.
