When you weld it you will change the strength characteristics which it had and take away any rust protection it had going into the future...
Old metal workers will favor the rivets over putting heat to the area.

And, WD40 is not a lubricant... try something like PBBlaster, white lithium grease,etc ... WD40 is a water displacement fluid.
