What Phil said!Fantastic work!
Given how long this is taking, it’s probably not a very cost effective approach, but it is interesting to learn.
What’s not worth fixing now might be the only available donor part in the future.
Shame you don't live near me, Tom. I've need of your skills!
Repair panel welded in now. There’s a few more weld seams than I’d like. I found a couple more holes after I’d made the first patch, so had to add a couple more beneath the sidelight. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll get away without a skim of filler, but at least it’s solid now.
