Anyone have pictures of the inner B pillar handy?

I need a reference picture or two to make sure my welding doesn't make things worse, which may well happen anyway LOL.

Specifically, I'm looking for the top section where the inner fender meets the rear deck lid.

Thanks!

(please forgive the cross-post)
 
Tom-

What car? If a 3 or 4 I can get you something later in the day. Anything else, you are out of luck!

TR6 and TR4 are the same.

Here are some thumbnail shots of the top of the rear side of the B post with rust damage that I posted on another forum in response to your question. (Click to enlarge)





When welding in this area, take care and go slow, as the metal will expand and buckle inward.
 
Mind you this was on a car that the DPO "took care of all the rust". How about those fiberglass sills? (sorry just venting a little. Bought the car many years ago when I was 20 and didn't know what all to look for). These sections have all been repaired but I don't have pictures of those handy. I think it will give you enough reference if not let me know.

If you need I think you can save the picture and zoom in if not I pm your email and I can send you the full size images
 
Wow crj, and I thought I had a problems.

Tom, actually the patch was made with a narrow flanged lip to fit from the back. I attached a piece of welding rod, tacked in the center, which I used to hold it in place. I then carefully brazed it in, but a series of individual tacks with grinding between application will eventually do the same thing.
