Welded up a few splits

Hi,
You are doing a fantastic job on this but 2 doors always seem to split here, it seems to be a weak spot, so you might want to weld in a bit of re-enforcement / strengthening before you get to the painting stage.
I've seen loads split here and I had Abby welded up at this point on both sides (I thought very well) only for it to split again soon after she was painted.
Maybe you could open up the pillar from the inside of the car, weld in some extra metal and then close it up again?
It would be a shame for you to do all this, only for it to split there again not long after you finish.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Hi there . Thank you for your guidance. I didn't know this was such a problem . I don't really understand why it splits here !. Il have to have a look at the car this weekend to see what and how I can make it stronger there. As you say the last thing I want is to have to weld it up after it's painted! Thank you[frame][/frame]
