Not bad.

I was going to reply with "why don't you just replace part for part?", but then I went to ifixit.com, saw the prices and just gulped. You would be looking at replacing the top and bottom cases ($150-$200 and $50-$80), clutch cover ($4.95), and left & right hinge mounts ($19.95 each). So altogether you'd be looking at close to $305 to fix it all. But you ended up fixing your problem for probably about $5-$10 using the JB Weld; I hope it lasts a long time. Keep us posted to see how long it lasts.
