Well, it came back with a few more holes in the than when it left... No great surprise. I've got to figure out how best to fill them now. I think I might cut the top rails off between the curves, poke a block of copper on a stick down t'hole to use as a backing pieces and weld the holes up. They'll be easy enough to dress back on the outside and weld back into place. Other bits are just bits of flat plate, so I'll probably end up just lopping out large patches and welding new in.

It's obvious now that the drivers side pillar has been replaced badly, so that's coming out. I'll have to make up some kind of jig to locate the window hinge plates as I'll end up taking them off to replace the entire corner pieces.

"It's only a bit of tin". Onwards and forwards.

I am somewhat disappointed that they clearly didn't treat it with a lot of respect. Both of the remaining pieces of footwell have been bent and crudely bent back. Not impressed with that, it's not like it would have taken a lot to not bend them. Don't think I'll be going back.
