After cleaning up the A pillar skin under the seal carrier with rotary wire brush, probably one of the best rust eating tools I have come across so far. I cautiously welded up the holes and ground flush ready to weld the carrier back into place.


It took a few attempts and measuring to fold up a replacement length of seal carrier. Then butt welded this on using the magnets keeping it square while it was tack welded. I cut out a patch for the floor, bending it to suit the curve of the floor as it was tacked into place, this patch was then cut to suit the seal carrier and a seam weld to hold it all in place, all in a long days work, grind it all down and should look as good as new!
The bus also got it's first bit of sun for the summer.
