I should have added, that before each patch was welded in, I had to cut out the next pice or part cut it out as each new patch prevented grinder or tin snip access.

The patches were shaped by hand using whatever I had that worked.

The first side took about four hours and I was pretty happy with it. Will need some filler to tidy it up but it trial fitted perfectly and has got solid metal. The other pillar will be almost the same repair.

Both pillars are now done and a trial fit found them slightly misaligned which I did expect. They bolted down neatly so I heated both to relieve any stress that would have lead to cracking.

Then the short gutters after being derusted were reattached and the welds ground up. Good to have this fiddly repair out of the way.
