It would be advertised as exactly what it is "A repaired original HJ GTS dash fascia".
Yes the welds are as strong and often stronger. I butt welded two bits of offcut fascia together and then broke it in half, it broke away from the weld. Like any welding, the better you get at it the stronger the weld is.
Plenty of failed attempts when I first started doing it though....;)
