Sort of Hammerhite copy?

[minisi35]

Yes a lot cheaper at the time though it was towards the beginning of the year when I got it .
Couple more of what I've been up to. Finished seam welding the drivers side and have moved the whole car over to one side in the garage so I can finish the passenger side footwell and then a new sill

[brad-the-bear]

cheers pal

[minisi35]

I've started on the passenger floor

[minisi35]

Well I finished the floor by welding in the cage mounts


then attacked the outer sill to see what horrors lurked , but it's looking pretty good in there so far just a small patch of rot to sort

[minisi35]

Almost forgot to match the other side with the stronger mount panel

[minisi35]

Finished off the rear corner, now the sill is ready to go on

[minisi35]

Right caught up on fitting the new sill, I repaired the inner sill and have fitted the new outer one
I plug welded the sill into place first

Then seam welded it all round, then cleaned up with a flap disc though in this pic it's not totally finished and still looks rough

[brad-the-bear]

lookin good
