Hi everyone.
My TR250 is well into its body work. The body shop has removed the rocker
panels and is ready to install the new ones. Unfortunately, some additional
pinhole rust was found at the bottom curved part of the b pillar on both the
driver's and passenger's side. New b pillars run at least $285 each. Does
anyone out there have a parts vehicle they're willing to sell part of the b
pillars, assuming those are without rust? This part should be the same as a
TR4 and TR6 since all of the doors are the same. I really only need the very
bottom curved section for the repair to be easily made without much
fabrication. Thanks in advance for any help.

With the removal of the rockers, mouse nests were found on both sides.  The
edge of the floor pan was sanded down to bare metal and then primered before
it is covered back up with the rocker.  The shop has hand stripped all of
the body panels and they will be media blasted on the edges and seams prior
to the primer stage.
