It's not needed, but no harm in it.
But stitch welds are better.

is it official its not needed though?
and what's the difference in seam, stitch and mig
obv spot welding is a waste of time in this area
isnt spot welding the one that holds quarters on and that? like the one around your rear window if you take them out
sorry i just dont know what im on about when it comes to welding

The Nova tends to crack, but Corsa's are alot stronger.
Seams are a continuos seam of weld, but stitch are short lines along the joins.
Done with a mig welder.
It would be worth doing, if your gonna be Rallying it, doing jumps and stuff.

Stitch welding is like a inch of weld then a inch gap, then another inch of weld and on like that.
IMO, I'd only do it on the cross member, as that area is fairly strong, but it wouldn't hurt to help.
Unless you can do the welding yourself, or can get it done for free, Its not really worth IMO.
