Sounds about right, but you forgot to say make silly faces whilst avoiding grinding sparks even though you're wearing a full face mask - or is that just me

Thanks Ben, I knew there would be someone that was able to help me in the right direction not just waffle through pretending to be any good.

I saw it so I took it.

You're obviously a bit new here - a few tips are not to get so easily offended.

DiamondHell and DannyP both know a lot more about this than I do - but they can't offer advice unless you can fully describe the situation.

As per the forum motto - expect help and sarcasm and try not to bite the hand that feeds you ;)

i replaced the sill on a sh1tty old fiesta once

make sure you tack both ends in place before you start seam welding

or the panel bends with the heat and by the time you get to the other end it is bent like a bannana  :grin: :grin:
