Mine isn't terrible, in fact the tray isn't rusted through in any place. But I have the replacement, and I want to paint underneath. So I'm trying to figure out how to remove it, I'll try drilling out the spot welds. (Couldn't find that specific bit).

But without a spot welder, how do you weld it back on? Most of it will need to be painted first anyways, so would you tack the base on first from the inside then the tray underside? Not to be a CW, but I wouldn't want to see weld beads.
