big holes now  :rolleyes:





possible previous repair? :undecided:




just gotta keep going until all the rot is chopped out then i can finally get round to remaking the inside and weld the new sill on the outside. fun times :laugh:


also i love CQ as i paid for one repair sill and they sent me both sides :cool: happy days

yeah it seems to be a plate at the end of the chassis mount section that has rotted through.  tbh i reakon i will need chassis mount repair parts from crazy quiffs aswell :embarassed:

tommorow im hoping to chop out the inner section and plate it all up then maybe get the outer sill in place.

ive been given advice by one of my dads mates who welds cars on a regular basis so can always pester him when i hit a brick wall
