then cracked on where I left of yesterday but noticed my sill was off by a mile! Oops


So sorted that out next. Had to cut of my double seam welded inner sill not happy


Made a wee cut as its spot on from the companion bin back

Then these turned up so got cracking with them since I was farting about with the floor


Oops!

Wee cut hear wee cut there

[hoody99]

Small progress today again

started with divers footwell



all tacked ready to go

then attacked the door!





ready to get tacked then welded up. Might even try patching the skin lol I well see how the inner frame goes lol

[sonikk4]

Don't patch the skin, i guarantee there will be more rust on the end flanges so you will be better to reskin the door properly.
