Thanks Yalan, that is very helpful. I like to understand things before I attempt them And having these images will help a lot.
That certainly looks like you had your work cut out on that one - well done.

I did mine last year and there are some photos on here if u do a search with my name.
I'll just repeat a bit of stuff I learnt over the repair;
- Get good quality repairs panels ( I used YRM) if nothing else for the reason they will be of decent quality metal
- Only repair the areas that need repairing. I was told this by someone on here and it certainly changed completely how I did the job (for the better). There is a real temptation to do the whole bullkhead - for me that is a waste of time and also good metal gives you a decent reference point
- TIG welding doesn't spark or create too much heat so use one of these if you can
- I bought an EZ dremel pack for my dremel - it was a godsend for the really fiddly bits and cut through stuff really easily
- Go to www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams and get all the necessary bolts, clips and gaskets - we had to call it a day when I didnt have enough captive nuts for the hinges - a simple thing to order an extra couple for £2
- Get the correct bulkhead to windscreen seal - there are two - buy them both as they are fairly cheap, this saved me all kinds of grief.
- Accept that its not going to go to plan. I spent hours on forums and looking in manuals - at some point you've gotta make the first cut. Just do it
Cheers

Sorry for the delay finally found my pics..
Hi ER1C, thanks for posting the photo. Unfortunately I can only see the one image - not sure if that is just due to my phone.
