Moving on from the door I started chop the old jacking point out as it looks to pay and the floor has gone underneath

It looks like I chewed it out!

To make the swage I needed to make a former which I did using some old chip board I had laying about

I'd say to make this 5mm narrower than you're after but that might be my technique! It's 25mm wide - is also suggest a stronger wood than chipboard

I had a week off due to getting metal in my eye which was not where I usually keep metal and wouldn't recommend it!

Feeling better I thought I'd glue it together

I didn't grind it back too aggressively it's not the prettiest welding but it's strong enough

I lined the jacking point back where it should be and held it in place for welding

And it's done!

1 more to do!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
