Yeah either drill it out if you can get a spot weld drill or just angle grind it out. Clean the metal up,red brown, prime then just puff some colour in to hide the mess.

thats y its easier to smash it, no chance of knocking holes in anything.

I used a standard box, it fitted in perfect with sub facing straight up.
