Interesting post, a repair job of a Land Rover Series 3 bulkhead panel @landroveraddict.com. A lot of work, time and energy spend. In fact the replacement footwell panels and sheet metal are relatively cheap compared to all the time spend on welding and cutting & cleaning of the old Land Rover Series bulkhead panel. In the end, it’s probably the only way to repair a Series 3 bulkhead…. Alternatively you might want to consider to buy a reconditioned one and save yourself the labour. But with space and good welding skills repairing a Land Rover bulkhead is not to complicated. In addition to the post sandblasting & galvanising of the old bulkhead panel will make it last forever.
Make sure to apply lots of rustproofing liquids into the hollow parts of the bulkhead panel after finishing the job.
