And......time to take the roof off, there is too much to properly repair in the gutter areas with the roof on , the front 'a' pillar area also needs access from the top to be repaired properly.
It took 2 hrs from start to roof on floor of garage. I cut with a 1mm blade just inside the welds in the gutters through just the turret layer of steel, the welds are more than just spot welds so unpicking this area was not possible. I then ran the 1mm blade through the rusted out brace on the inside on the roof to separate properly, this brace is 2.5 meters long on either side of the roof, it needed replacing most so no loss. this brace is spot welded to the roof turret on one side, and to the inside gutter on the other.
