The poor state of repairs on the donor meant it was very easy to remove the one I needed. With only six tick welds holding it in place, this also meant it was already rusting like most of the other repairs done.
I decided as it was on the underside surface, I would patch it after removing the rusty bits and cut a section from the repair panel.
The panel already had rusty areas so I used it as a template cutting a new section form new metal. Clamping in place and then seam welding along the edges.
Using a flap disc on the front edge to get the right profile before welding this part - I don't think your notice the extra thickness once some finishing is done.
