Then it was welding the outer sill, getting the right contour was tricky...

The sill isnt smooth as standard mate :wink:

[Coops]

top bombing mate, thats no mean feat, impressed 8)

A smooth sill would end up looking ****ed in only a few months from all the stones - like your progress!

[DaveH]

Looks good- looks like you went a bit too high up the sill with the stone guard or is that so it can be smoothed over at the top afterwards? would never have the balls to attempt something like that

I would say it's been masked up just below the polythene.

Yeah its been masked along the original line. Didnt really have much choice, had to attempt it as it was a MOT failure.

Plus im too tight to pay a bodyshop to do it :wink:

And i know its been done properly now 8)

nice one....so did u repair the inner sill in one section or the inner sill to jacking support, then the inner trim panel from inside then the outer sill spot welded through to the rear ???

Yeah went to the jacking support mate. That was still solid and wasnt rusty at all. Then as you say spot welded on the outer skin but then we ran a continous weld down the sill.

Its now been waxoiled and treated inside, off to the bodyshop on wednesday, then MOT following wednesday then off to silverstone on saturday morning 8)

[DaveH]

Ah yes closer inspection required! I see the tape on the bottom pic.

[katbloke]

nice work but the stonechip should stop under the staright step out that area and upwards is smooth

[Daz.]

it does thats just where the tape is I believe

Ooops, never saw it soz for above post, cracking repair nonetheless

[Andy P]

Yeah it follows the original line, dont worry :wink:

[northy]
