Well as all the rot was mainly in the old floor once it's flipped back I should only have welds to grind down :). I want this mini done! Haha

Need some help guys! Can anyone tell me the distance between the bottom of the 'b' post to the top edge of the inner sill? I think I have made a mistake welding them together !

I have taken this picture.

It shows that the bottom of the B post comes to just above the top edge of the inner sill

 

Hope that helps!

Right so this shows there's a clear gap between these 2 peices ! The question is how big is the gap supposed to be ! :/

Thanks for that guys ! I will sort that asap :)

So got my panel delivery today and got straight on with the p/s a post.
A24038E1-08D7-439E-9DEA-134CED20F3AE_zps
Took a while to peel away the layers but sorted out the hinge stregthener first.

D002DFB0-7E55-4C28-A806-F2997D021CE3_zps
Then sorted the inner Wing ready to weld in. The fitment on these is awful but I suppose that's what you get buying non gen :/
A3874B2F-186D-4421-A270-3D2AFC83FB2C_zps
Going to get this welded up and solid before I sort out the inner closing panel as its hard to get to with the shell upside down XD.
