The drivers side looked like this to start with,
Chopped out all the rust, repaired the kidney panel, and then removed the complete inner wing.
I've tacked the inner wing in place, then removed the A post to discover the remains of the A post were rotten as well. Folded up a section to repair the a post, and tied it into the inner wing forming a box section. I don't know how it was made originally as it was completely rotten with nothing to take pictures of. I then tacked the A post repair panel in place to trial fit the door. Initial door fit was lousy. some head scratching later, and guess what the repair van was a poor fit. So this was re-bent and another tacking session later and the door fitted like this,
Happy with the fit, it was all seam welded up, and the welds dressed down,
Roughly fitted the door and wing on to get an idea of fit, and i'm pretty pleased. Bottom of the wing needs moving over a touch, but not to bad.
Now to finish welding the floor in and repair the bulkhead where it joins the floor, bottom of the B post, and then start on the other side.
