Right another weekend pasted and time for another update....
I have been a bit busy trying to source a few different parts
Well as i have recieved the panel it was time to do a bit of measuring up... from where the good metal is and bad rotten metal was...
The boss too the decision that it was a good idea to un bolt the wing and peel away the seal seeler so we could do a better job of the sill..
So up the car went on the hoist.. Wheel off.. Arch liner out... heat gun, to soften up the sealer... and pick it off.. so i could get to the bolts.. then took them out... headed up the rest of the sealer and wiggled the wing and then she moved enough...
So then we got the length of the new sill and marked it out and cut away the old nasty bit.. if anyone has tried this before its not as easy as you think... Had to beltsand all the spot welds and peel them off so one set on top and 2 on bottom.. then out come the hammer and chisel to knock the welds off....
Then its time to beltsand all the spot welds off flat and clean up all the surface behind ready for the new panel to be spot welded back on
here are a few pics....
So another part to the project i wasnt expecting to do for a long while was wheels... but i just couldnt miss this chance and i think the wheels will suit the car down to the ground...
They will need a refurb.. and 2 have cracks but have been told they look repairable..
Here are a few pics...
and a mock up with the car lol....
Cheers
