looking at that strut, i'd go searching for a new set of lower springcups if i were you!!! i don't think that those will hold a lot longer...

well espescially with a set of harder springs they'll give away soon, and trust me; a front wheel diving into the top of the wheelarch at motorway speed is 9/10 times the cause of a lot of bodywork damage.. at v3c 2 people had the same thing over this winter, both cars were write off's

Its not as bad as the pictures make out, there is rust in the area but the picture makes it look like there is more than is actually there

It will still need to be sorted as you said because I'm running harder springs, would like to get it running and working before I go on to make it full proof.

Dude in the photo you can see through the cup. There is only supposed to be one hole around 8mm diameter in the cup. I really would take the advice of others and replace the cup. You can buy a new seat from hadrian body panels and have it welded on.
