For sure. And if you've got the time and aren't rushed, why not. Saves paying someone else to do it.

Most uk newages will have gone or starting to go there, its a water trap, all the spray when driving in any wet weather goes in there and the grit etc rubs against the loom causing it just to rot out. The good thing is you can replace it like for like, its no way a structural point its simply there to hold the rads.
Good shout with the modine seal not something id seen before so very well noted.
EDITED: That camblet tho! You have been lucky ducky on that one...

Thanks mate. I got the front bumper off today and there's a few little rust spots but generally the rest of the front end/crash structure looks OK. Bit of rust treatment on a couple of areas and then a coat of stonechip or paint and will be fine. I'll definitely be getting the OEM repair panel and fixing it properly, but I've never welded before so not going to try myself - rather pay someone who knows what they're doing!
