Installed the inner jamb reinforcement. Unlike the RH side there was no damage here so the plate was easy to correctly locate and weld in prior to the panel. Drilled for plug welds upon installation.

Sectioned in the lower half of the telephone receiver and removed the formed dimple in the jamb (per RH panel). Drilled for plug welds.

Inside view. Note lower corner of door jamb (RH side in picture). This area was a little mis-formed. The leading edge of the panel at the lower door jamb flared back a little leaving an awkward gap at the bottom corner. The contour of the paned was also slightly off at the lower leading edge. It was split, reshaped and welded up from the inside (built up to fill gap) to align correctly.
