As previously mentioned, we decided to keep most of the A-Post bases, so...

The A-post base was just slit off, new flanges added on and after the above, was welded back into place after blasting internally and priming.

The previous repair had skirted around the A-post base, hence the odd 'blending out' at the front on the 'before' picture. Later on, anything that shows here will be run over with the big single sided welder for some cosmetic welds to be added. All the structural welding here has already been dealt with of course.
