Apart from the missing nut that looks in perfect condition. Is yours
a duplicate for some where else?

I thought I would have the base and back in one piece and the other
three sides as another piece.


Makes the folding easier if nothing else. You can probably tack
solder that those two peices into a mechanicaly stable object then
solder along the join in a single pass with a small blow torch. Or
you could try brazing it, which would be stronger than soft
soldering.
