So that's what £139 quids worth of panels looks like then.

Again though credit to M-Machine, placed my order at about 11am weds and arrived at 10:30am this morning, they had to press the step for me as they had ran out.

 

Heelboard outside.

Mount plate.

Drivers side step.

Decided to replace the hole thing in the end instead of just doing the corner. Great thing is these come 3-4" up the side, so should also cover the hole in the door frame.

 

Went with a pair of proper sills in the end.

Just hope when I come to pulling the wide sill off the passenger side its not too bad.

 

Heelboard sill mock up. :)

Progress on the Van sort of.

 

Got an hour in last night and double cut the floor in.

 

Ignore the over sills still there but that's coming off next then the heelboard.

IMG_3096_zps8468779f.jpg

 

Wish I had more of them clampy things.

IMG_3097_zps715974a2.jpg

 

Not sure how but managed to get this massive gap cutting the panels so hopefully I can bridge it with weld or something?

IMG_3099_zpsf4968370.jpg

 

Then went home and made Sausage and Mash instead.....  :lol:  ;D  :D  :gimme:
