She's finished!
Did the final stretch of welding this morning with help from my mate at jamtech motorsport and my old man. All solid again, just need to stock up on some paint and bodywork items to get it all sealed and painted on Saturday.
Anyway, the finished product

This bit was the hardest right up by the fuel tank elbow and return pipe and the metal was only about 0.5mm thick, having to deal with this as well as bridging a 5mm gap between the inner sill and the outer with barely enough space to get the welding torch in there

Outer sill final plate cut to shape and best for a perfect repair

I'll seam seal it all, underseal and paint tomorrow, then skirts will be reattached with some nice flush fitting nutserts for easy removal in the future
