I marked up a pic with my plan. This repair will be done in four pieces. Let me know what you think.

The black and silver pieces I would like to do "one piece" but getting them in, behind the old steel is the trick.
1). Spot weld in the black piece.
2). Spot weld in the silver piece.
3). Spot weld in the red piece.
4). Spot weld in the blue piece.
Fabbing the patch panels for the lower A Pillar hinge reinforcement. I'll do some adjusting of the fit before these get welded in. There are two more plates to make. One that will weld to the left hand wall and another that covers the nut plate.
The upper (black) piece.

The lower (silver) piece.

Fitting the top piece.

Fitting the bottom piece.

Pulling everything together with screws and clecos.
