Back to the lift gate, the spot welds in the bottom piece were drilled out. This revealed a couple more pits, which were media blasted and MIG welded.

All cleaned up, the new piece is plug welded on....

Then the inner panel is fitted up and tacked in place....

Top flange clamped to check the fit.....

That's about it until next time...
