Did you use TEK screws to keep everything together before welding? That's very clever!
I had a buddy who helped me de-seam a Mini many years ago. He used a Oxy torch to do the welding. The front door A-pillar was at some time filled in with lead. When he started welding the seam, a stream of molten lead ran down his thigh and settled in his flip flop, making an impromptu casting of the space between his foot bridge and the plakkie. He politely asked my wife to close her ears and then some choice words were used, instantly enriching my vocabulary. This was quite and achievement because I had spent 5 years in the Airforce and thought I had heard every expletive ever spoken.
