A visit to Tom Hobbs in Leeds is an even better option. I know it's not DIY'ish (and I can't recall if his panel repair includes the trim holes section too) but from all accounts you get a 1st class old school repair with all the bells and whistles (including paint/stonechip) done by a real craftsman.

Agreed but whereas I would say my welding was adequate it’s not to professional standard. Two other reasons for going to the trim channel, 1- cutting along the line of holes will give an accurate datum for refitting 2- to replace the front jacking point and the steel surrounding it will need most of the outer sill cut away.
