The top half of the back of the cab is made from the rear hatch cut and shut to the body and fully seam welded, the bottom half is 3mm sheet steel, with a heavy c section running the entire width of the cab about halfway way up what's left of the rearwheel arches. I am confident it will be very strong. Even if my welds are ugly they are solid. Once the welds and structure are given the all clear I'll run a bead of urethane over them just to tidy things up asthetically. There is definitely no pin holes but even if there is I have treated with crc rust converter and a few decent coats of crc etch primer. The urethane will be just an extra bit of insurance and make it look neater.
Once cert guys have inspected it I will have a better idea if it's strong enough, there's plenty of scope to add more reinforcement if needed but I think it'll be OK.
