Default Slam panel and bumper support

Hi folks,

Sorry for all the questions again?

After noticing some rust under my bumper I started stripping my front end off my wrx wagoon.

There is a pretty heavy bit of metal between the 2 chasis legs that bolts on with 6 bolts. This is rotten. Is this the bumper support. Is this the same on all newage models?

There is a bit that is welded in that the radiator and ac radiator pegs push into. This is also rotten. Is this part of the slam panel? Is this the same on all newage models? Am I best cutting it out and welding in a section or replacing the whole panel which unbolts which looks like it includes the inners of the front arches etc.

Where is the best place to get these bits?

Cheers,

Dan

Surely somebody knows the answers to at least some of these questions?
