hi peeps small update. I havent been able to do much due to the xr2i craving my attention again!! but this is what i got done before my gas run out ( i was going to buy more the weekend after the xr2i shit itself)

im going to warn you now im not the neatest welder as im 100% self tought and only been welding 1 1/2- 2 years, i can do invisible repair but the sill get hidden by the skirts but it is solid and properly welded and repaired with quality thick sheet metal, so hears some pics

firstly i repaired the offside inner sills and rewelded the sill back on and repaired the rot sections and rebuilt the rear section







wen i cut down the sides and along the bottom of the sill and bent it up, like the cock i am i didnt realise it would close the door gap so i had to hammer and dooly it for an age to get the gap of the cut to close up, so with the otherside i cut along the top as wel and removed the whole sill

hears some pics of the near side sill cut off and inner sill repaired







while i was repairing the sill i found another hole but the wing was i the way of see the whole thing so as its being replaced anyway i cut it off. good news though the hole is only small and the top corner were it wasnt fitted proplery and showed signs of rusting was ok,







after that little episode i decided to go on another rot hunt and was ok but found one small bit


it should look ok with the undersealer on
as soon as the xr2i is back on the road ill be cracking on with it. sorry its been slow folks 3 cars are hard work!!
