The sill last page! |
At the front of the sill I had this nasty area where the bottom of the "B" post was missing, to help me reconstruct this area I had left the back of the wheel arch untouched to maintain the correct shape. looking at this picture I think that I repaired the "B" post before welding the sill into place so the pictures aren't quite in the right order! | |
With the "B" post repaired the sill has
now been fully welded into place, at the front of the sill it was welder in from behind
as the new inner sill had holes in it so I welded through them. And you can see where I
welded the sill to the "B" post, this is where I think the line from the back of the "B"
post should have continued to the bottom, but I am not sure. Another one of those time
consuming jobs was to reform the channel where the rubber door seal sits, this had to
be done at both ends.
You can also see that I have welded the new front jacking point into place this was simple to do and just required holes to be drilled along the edges of the new panel and then weld through. |

This is the last picture of the N/S sill repair! This picture was taken some time after the major repair as the front beam and wheels have now been fitted back on. The final repairs are easy to do, all I did was just cut the plates and weld in the patches! although I did fold over two of the edges on one of the panels to form the "L" shape that you can see. |
