Right did the silly little bits first to get them out of the way, this is osr jack point/pillar btm, dont know why I went to the trouble of making it sort of match as its never seen, anyway added a couple of drain slots in the btm and will cut same in wing bottom

made a panal to let into the inner sill and welded this in up to the first angle which is the rear half of the front outrigger come jack point

then made a small plate of heavier guager and welded this on top of the first angle and onto the front upright/outrigger, this is now the base of forming a strong box,next added a small piece to repair the frontmost upright

next was the inner part of the pillar itself, this is what the heavy stiffening plate welds to and is very important, I made it out of thicker guage again for strength, Im not doing this twice.. its not an exact replica of the original but in one piece without a brake press it will have to do.

I have deliberately butt welded the majority of this as its stronger than patching which can be a bit bodgy, have gas welded a lot as its easier,quicker,neater and more enjoyable. though migged the heavy stuff as a practicality.
tommorow will be making the reinforcing pieces and will finnish making the lower sill and the side panal bottom half.

Oh and cut a bit more bad out of the panal and freed it from the rear pillar so I can clean the rust out and it will help fit ther rear wing
