Hi chaps.
After a slow-motion accident yesterday when my 1987 90 ended up on its side, and the only option to upright it was to drag it 50yds down a lane on ice, it has become apparent that the driver's side door pillar is mainly made of painted body-filler (b*******), so it'll need replacing.

So, has anyone successfully welded on replacement door pillars, like these ones?

Since I guess it'll be a bulkhead-out job, I'll do it at the same time as replacing the front outriggers, which have small rust holes in them.
 
And here, have a laugh at my expense:

About 7mph, sheet ice under thin snow, fairly steep decline, 1st gear Hi, came off the throttle a tad too briskly for the decline and within yards was sideways and bounced off the verge.
All very slow and rubbish, crash wise.

The mother-in-law, who was in the back, was unimpressed.
:D
