Thanks to you all for your very helpful replies. The pictures and You Tube video are especially useful. I don't think the screen is leaking into the A-pillar now, it all looks very sound and solid. I'm sure it did leak at some time in the past and the leak was probably fixed at the same time as the holes in the A-pillar base were cunningly disguised with filler! I think I'll have a go at repairing it along the lines of the video with the body still on the chassis, as that will hold things in the correct positions. Peter Britton

I have found the o/s A-post on my Vitesse has rusted through at the base. There is a large hole in the inner surface where it forms a double skin with the footwell, a hole in the floor section under the hollow box section of the A-post, and another hole in the "sculptured" section at the bottom front corner of the door aperture. All the places where moisture would get trapped! It looks like a complex welding job to fix it. I can't find any repair sections for sale for the A-post pressing, only for the floor. Can anyone who has repaired this area give me any tips? Thanks in advance for your help. Peter Britton
