i made up a new inner a post boxing plate going from what was left of the old panel

Posted Image

got the donor door post all cleaned up

Posted Image

Posted Image

and then clamped the two together and welded and cleaned off turned out pretty well and i will put the flange for the flitch when i fit that

Posted Image

Posted Image

then welded in the door post using the door itself to make sure it was strait also using the previous measurements taken

Posted Image

and the rear for penetration

Posted Image

and then all ground down cleaned up and a little primer and as it turned out well i took a couple of pics

Posted Image

Posted Image

i then fitted and welded the doorstep in again using the the door to check for the gaps but got no pics with bare welds only when it was ground down

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

and as i have set my door gaps fairly tight there were a couple of welds on the door that were just touching the door frame so flatted them of also i stripped the door down as it was propa heavy putting on and off all the time and was supprised to find an mpi door so well chuffed

thats all for now should be starting on the floor removal over this weekend so more coming just need to save up for a new inner wing and front crossmember half
