I 'fixed' the flaw in the warehouse.
I figured that if I couldn't cut the old panels out and replace them, why not just laminate the right panels over top of the old? All I needed to do was to cut the mounting tabs off the replacement panels and they would fit right between the pilasters.
I did have to cut some of the old panel away so to clear the door castings on the new panels but I left enough to provide an adequate gluing surface.
I painted the panels and gave them a mortar wash to match the rest of the structure before gluing them over the old walls using 2-part epoxy I then clamped them overnight
After unclamping I added some caps to the tops of the new walls. I still have some weathering and I plan to add an interior floor to the open loading door but it's almost finished.
