First Section

First section of sill finally fully prepped. All of the spot weld points are matched to the original panel locations. New jack point plate welded on from the set of four I had made by the boys up at Aycliffe Fabrication when I worked in the North East.

And welded in…

This made it very apparent that the two inner panels weren’t going to go in with more access being created so the rest of those panels in the rear arch were chopped out once I’d taken out a section of the bench top temporarily to provide access.

Oh yeah, layers of paint. Red oxide, over white, over the original red. What a mess.All of the back of the car from the B-pillars back was painted like that. Some more sanding to come.

Also doing some repairs to other sections needing to go back in. Patch cut to size and prepped to weld in.

Then replicated the spot weld points an cut the panel to shape to weld back in. Sprayed some Zinc 182 on that and will get to fitting that as part of the rebuild.
