tbh, assuming the sleeves are a reasonably lose fit to the shocks, you don't even need to weld the sleeves on with em sitting against that mount like that. a good slather of seam sealant top and bottom to stick em on/stop em turning/seal them from the elements is all it would need, and itll remove the welding shocks issue from the equation totally.

See this is what really ticks me off............. You guys got all the cool cars. hahah what you mean ticks you off ? =p The Europeans got so many of these cool little cars that we never came close to seeing over here. So much more to pick and choose. I think I remember a magazine that used to be in print (or still is?) over there called Hot Hatch or something. And everyone one of these small cars over there are nothing less than awesome, lolol.
