A bit more fabricating and welding done this weekend. The vertical closer panel on the passenger side of the bulkhead was cut and folded.
The problem with this is that the new bottom corner of this panel reaches out over the floorpan. Having some spare floorpan parts, I decided to change the shape to make it all fit and look better.
Replacement section in place prior to cutting and welding.

Replacement piece welded in with the top hole filled in and the old corner of the floorpan cut out so not to create a redundant cavity.
And this is how it soon looked, with the bulkhead started to be welded in and some of the holes in the bulkhead being filled in. There is still quite a bit of grinding back to be done and pseudo spot welding between the bulkhead top and the vertical panels, then it's onto the drivers side, which will be more complicated again as the panels have to give room for the starter and clutch slave cylinder.
Later on, the top of the drivers side bulkhead finally buzzed in, which meant I could decide on the final position of the master cylinders, which have also been modified and welded together.
