Good question...

I wanted to stonechip the gavity under the sill so left it off so i can get to the sill stiffener and door step.

I ran a length of duct tape alone where the sill welds on to mask it off so it still bare metal underneath. You just cant make it out from the photo very well.

Once the outer sills on i'll cover it in stonechip too.

Make sense?

Ohhhh good idea!!!!

There is some colour :) thats looking good well done mate, like some people have said its a big step to get paint on :)

Really want/need to get my finger out and order the front end panels and new door step / side panel now.

[SAL 821X]

few more pictures.

 

Closing panels.

 

 

 

Need to tidy up the arch but I'll have to flip it over again or wait till it's up right.

 

Decided to stonechip the arches as well.

 

 

 

 

Braided hoses on the front now.

 

Heater valve blank in SS

 

Brake banjo just waiting on the copper washers.

Trial fit of the outer sill....

 

Now....

 

I'm thinking of replacing the door step to side panel as it's chopped out a bit.

 

Should I wait to put the sill on until I've done the step or do you not think it matters?

 

[minimissions]

Looking really tidy there matt keep the pics coming :)

[l_jonez]

I'd weld the sill on first, it will put a bit more strength back in to the shell before cutting out any more metal and will act as a datum.

[SAL 821X]

Cool cheers.

 

Should I plug well or seam the bottom edge?

 

Any preference.

 

(I'm thinking seam as it would stop the water getting in under the sill)

[minimissions]

I think meant to plug weld them, but again i have see it done both ways....

[SAL 821X]

It would save having to drill hundreds of blinking holes in it as well.
