The welds are holding. For now.
Now I need to do the other side.

It is worse.

The hinge pulled the metal out of the door AND the pillar. Broke the welded nuts on the backside of the panel.

But good news! Its easy to get to thanks to this nice factory access hole under the dash. Good job, Mits!!

Deciding if I want to weld it up, or just put a plate or washers on the back of the pillar and bolt the hinge back on through that. I should be able to fix the door itself in the same manner as the other door.
Oh, and yes, that lower hinge was just as frozen as the passenger door. I currently having it soaking in penetrant to bring it back to life.
