Pillar Repair - Best Method



Hello

This is how mine looks and it's one of the repairs i'm dreading, the gutter lip being of great concern. How to get the look with a bit of sheet…..

What about cutting it out and putting a good pillar in?  Possible?

When my dad had his own workshop there was a Mk2 he had in that had been smacked in the side.  He cut the whole lot out including door pillar and welded one from another shell in.

To boot, i need someone to do it.  Cumbria.

Any dependable Bodyshops in the North West?

As much advice on restoring a Series 1 as possible please

best thing is start grinding, but by the looks of it you're going to have to cut it out and weld in a new piece. entirely doable!

if you think that looks like too much work, have a look thru this thread it should make you feel much better ;)
