The door pillars on my 90 are pretty rotten.
I see replacements are available but to replace them are they bolted to the
bulkhead or do thy need to be welded?

Any advice gratefully received

they have to be welded im afraid, but if you know what youre doing
with a welder and a grinder it isnt that bad,

remember,,,,,,,,The first cut is the hardest.!!!!!!

Surprise surprise the bottom of my series 3 door pillars are rotten too, but
it does not seem to count for an MOT so let em rot. (well for now anyway)

Yeah welding will be required unless you want to do what the previos owner
did on mine, and disguise it all with filler
