Does anyone have detailed pictures of the C pillar join. On mine the passenger side was welded and the drivers side bogged. I want to have the join as original as I can get it. Any help or advise, also the rare patch bits are a single edge is that how they are finished.

Hi Danny.  You can also check out Rana Girl's thread "Project reHATCHed". There is some good picks on page 2.  Here's a pic of the cross section on the pillar. My understanding is that the bottom of that pillar was lead wiped originally. Where it meets the back quarter panel was left showing the join (if that makes sense).  Some people simply repair and smooth over that join (as I have done) and others prefer to go back to original.  There is plenty of comment on C pillars as they are notorious for rusting out. Cheers Ton
