Welded up and looking a lot better.
Front was also done. Now this difference in width of the window frame needs to be dealt with. The frame had a slight taper to it so it shows up once the 5.5" was chopped out. Can see it better from this angle in the far right photo.
Bottom was cut and then pulled in only to the point where it lined up with the top of the frame. Pulling it to meet the bottom of the upper half would leave a dip which will show up once the straight window surround is against it. Top half cut and pulled out to meet the lower piece and then finished up.
Like on the other door, I also fixed the inner frame alignment more than had been done. I had to cut through their tack and sharpened up the inside fold. The glass channel sits in this corner. Needs a little more sharpening of the fold further down, but a lot better than it was before. Also had to do the same pulling out of the upper frame edge and pushing in the lower half to get a straight line on the edge.
This seam had broken away so needs to be fixed. Noticed the bottom doesn't line up any more either. The guard needed to be knocked down to get it aligned at the bottom. The whole seam this time was fully welded rather than just a few spot welds the factory had.
